(Business in Cameroon) - On, April 28, 2015, the Minister of Energy and Water, Basile Atangana Kouna, officially opened a 50 MW thermal gas plant. Eneo’s investment cost 20 billion FCFA.

The new plant is crucial to preserving the balance between electricity supply and demand in the dry season which generally suffers a decline in production due to the low water levels in the dams. The Logbaba-Bassa gas plant was built in three months by Altaaqa Global, while Gaz du Cameroun (GDC) connected the plant to the pipeline to ensure gas supply.

However, although it is satisfied with the efficiency of its partnership between Eneo, Altaaqa Global and Gaz du Cameroun, which enabled the plant to be launched quickly, Eneo’s Managing Director, Joël Nana Kontchou, thinks there is a lot more to be done in the electricity sector in Cameroon.
