With economic sanctions and low foreign direct investment into the country up until 2013, many regional governments were unable to access modern efficient technology. Their only option to meet their power needs were old inefficient diesel generators. For the Dawei region, this, coupled with rising demand and poor distribution infrastructure, meant electricity generation was expensive and unreliable. We had been working with the regional government of Tanintharyi (TRG) since 2014 with a 6 MW gas fired power plant. With a need to increase the capacity of the plant to meet the rising demand and secure a competitive tariff, TRG retendered the power supply. We knew we had to show TRG they could get newer, more efficient technology and at a lower competitive cost. PROJECT FACT FILE 8 MW Natural gas power delivered in just 21 days 9 % Energy cost savings 125,000 Dawei inhabitants get uninterrupted eco-friendly power Click here to learn more about our NGG power THE SOLUTION 14 MW of our reliable, efficient NGG power to increase the town’s power capacity We partnered with Global Grand Service Company (GGS) to design a solution that would deliver state of the art highly efficient Next Generation Gas (NGG) generators that would meet their needs at a competitive cost. We delivered a 14 MW natural gas package with our NGG generators and added an inductive load bank to compensate for the long power transmission lines between the power plant and the majority of the consumers based in the town 80 km away. Our NGG generators have a higher capacity, reduced environmental impact through their smaller carbon footprint and high electrical efficiency compared to other gas generators available in the market. TRG had limited engineering resources and was able to rely on our experienced engineers who lent their knowledge by evaluating and recommending robust protection settings for the customer’s Transmission and Primary Distribution system, which then we coordinated with our own Aggreko protection system. Having robust aligned protection systems ensures guaranteed reliable power and helps avoid frequent blackouts. THE AGGREKO DIFFERENCE Our unrivaled track record in providing reliable power at a lower total cost of energy THE IMPACT Savings of US $35m and stable electrical supply to underpin growth in Dawei We were able to deliver and install our mobile, modular equipment in just 21 days and our market leading efficient equipment lowered the total cost of energy for TRG and the Dawei population by 22%, which is approximately 35m USD over the course of the contract. We provide uninterrupted, stable power that the people of Dawei need. This power supply enables businesses to grow and thrive, and critical institutions such as hospitals, schools and chilled food industries to provide reliable services to the Dawei inhabitants.
