Bureau Veritas in Senegal and West African Energy: a fruitful collaboration

Aug. 24 2021

WHO IS WEST AFRICAN ENERGY?

West African Energy is a Senegalese energy and petroleum products company that works for the development, construction, operation, and maintenance of power plants in Senegal and abroad. 


What needs the project cover? 


This 300 MW power plant, which will be built in the industrial zone of Cap des Biches, is expected to create hundreds of jobs and supply nearly 500,000 households. It will also make a significant contribution to Senegal's energy mix, as more than 70% of power plants are currently powered by HFO (Hydrofluorolefin) or coal.

HOW WILL BUREAU VERITAS SUPPORT?

Bureau Veritas in Senegal will perform a technical control mission to ensure the structural integrity and safety of the plant under construction.
