China National Electric Engineering Co. Ltd. (CNEEC) has awarded a contract to Everllence for the supply of dual-fuel engines for a new Mauritanian power plantEverllence, formerly MAN Energy Solutions, announced in a statement that it will supply four high-efficiency 18V51/60DF engines for the power plant in Nouakchott, Mauritania’s capital.The value of the contract was not disclosed.With a total power output of 74 MW, the new power facility is set to play a key role in closing the existing gap in the country’s electricity supply.“Everllence is making a vital contribution to stabilising Mauritania’s energy supply with this power plant,” said Ghassan Saab, head of power, MEA region at Everllence.“We have been a trusted partner for energy projects across Africa for over half a century." Saab added."Everllence has realised power plants in more than 30 African countries, contributing over 2.5 GW of installed capacity to the continent.”Under the latest contract, each engine will deliver 18.5 MW of electric power for the new plant, which will be operated by SOMELEC, Mauritania’s national power utility.The state power firm also plans to build additional facilities to gradually meet the country’s growing electricity demand, the Everllence statement noted.For its latest project, Everllence said production planning at an early stage and close collaboration with both the EPC contractor and end user will enable exceptionally short delivery times, with commissioning scheduled to be completed by late 2026.“We’re proud that CNEEC is relying on our technology to strengthen the power supply in Mauritania,” said Martin Chmiela, head of power, Asia Pacific at Everllence, who signed the contract with CNEEC in Beijing recently.“Our dual-fuel engines offer maximum fuel flexibility. Depending on availability, the engines can seamlessly switch between fuels without compromising performance, ensuring reliable power-generation at all times.”Read more:
