The Ghoubet project is a 60MW under-construction wind farm in Djibouti. It is developed by an Independent Power Producer (IPP), Red Sea Power, and works are conducted by Siemens-Gamesa.
A company, which is considering acquiring a stake in the project, has tasked a group of consulting firms to conduct a complete due diligence of the project. SOFRECO was responsible for the on-site technical due diligence. The purpose of the visit was to assess the physical state of construction, to compare this with the project's progress reports and to produce a report highlighting areas of concern or red flags.

The objective of the services is to ensure the proper implementation of the works to be constructed as part of the PROSER project for 805 locations spread across 17 regions of the country. The works planned for PROSER concern the construction of 6,460 km of 33kV overhead lines, the installation of 1,394 substations, and the construction of 3,419 km of LV lines, as well as 113,838 LV connections and the installation of 94,023 public lighting units.

The objective of the assignment is to provide technical and management support to the Dominica Geothermal Development Company Ltd. (DGDC) to ensure the successful delivery of the construction of the new transmission network at 69 kV and 33 kV connecting the planned 15 MW geothermal power plant to the existing grid. The success of the Project will be assessed by the delivery of this new infrastructure on schedule, within budget and according to technical, environmental and social standards.
The Owner’s Engineer is expected to: (i) perform preliminary surveys and the corresponding scoping, cost estimate and engineering design work for transmission lines and substations; prepare the procurement plan, bidding documents for each procurement package, including technical specifications; (ii) support DGDC in the bidding process (iii) support DGDC for contract management and carry out construction supervision, and (iv) support DGDC during the guarantee period.

The North Gaza Sewage Treatment Solar Power plant project aims to design, supply and install a 7.53 MWp solar photovoltaic power station. The Contractor is to design a photovoltaic power station and the associated energy management systems (EMS), divided into 4 sub-groups throughout the Sewage treatment plant site.
As part of this project, SOFRECO is carrying out the project management assistance, from the design studies to the operational acceptance and commissioning, i.e., 22 months.

As part of the Côte d'Ivoire, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea Electricity Interconnection Project, leading to the construction of a 1,357 km, 225 kV double circuit transmission line to connect the four national electricity networks, this project assisted in the establishment of a dynamic electricity market in the West African sub-region and in securing the electricity supply of the participating countries. Ginger SOFRECO, on behalf of and in the best interest of the contracting authority (EDG), was responsible for monitoring and supervising the execution of the entire rural electrification component.

The aim of the project is to determine the viability of wind turbine installations with rotors 155 metres high. The aim of the consultation is to collect and analyse wind data over a continuous period of at least 12 months, at a height of 120 metres. The expected results include: (i) the installation, operation and removal of a wind measurement device, (ii) measurements in accordance with international Measnet standards, (iii) a full report on the measurement campaign, and (iv) reliable, bankable data for preliminary analysis.

Project Management Consultancy mission to the SONATREL Project Management Unit for the implementation of the regional component of the Interconnection Project of the Cameroon and Chad Power Grids. In Cameroon, the planned works include the construction of 650km of 225kV line, the construction of 3 substations (225/30kV) and the extension of 2 substations (225/110/30kV and 225/90/15kV), as well as the rural electrification of more than 400 communities along the HVB line.
The Ginger SOFRECO/RTEi consortium, as the Project Management Consultant, is responsible for: i) updating the preliminary and detailed design studies, the ESIA and RAP studies and the hazard studies; ii) drawing up the tender documents and assisting with the procurement process; and iii) monitoring and supervising the works (HV line, substation and rural electrification), including monitoring the implementation of environmental and social protection activities, and providing assistance during the warranty period.

Project Management Consultancy mission to the SNE Project Implementation Unit for the implementation of the regional component of the Project for the Interconnection of the Cameroon and Chad Power Grids. In Chad, the planned works include the construction of 238km of 225kV line, the construction of 2 substations (225/30kV and 225/90/15kV) and the extension of 1 substation (225/90/30kV), as well as the rural electrification of more than 70 communities along the HVB line.
The Ginger SOFRECO/RTEi consortium, as the Project Management Consultant, is responsible for: i) updating the preliminary and detailed design studies, the ESIA and RAP and the Hazard Studies; ii) drawing up the tender documents and assisting with the procurement process; and iii) monitoring and supervising the works (HV line, substation and rural electrification), including monitoring the implementation of Environmental and Social Safeguard activities, and providing assistance during the warranty period.

The project consists of conducting three pre-feasibility studies for the production of green hydrogen and ammonia in Tunisia, and providing strategic recommendations for their implementation. Ginger SOFRECO is responsible for the technical and environmental component, including the identification of suitable regions, the analysis of shared infrastructures, and the design of cost calculation tools. An analysis of financial feasibility is also being conducted by the partner.
