Boulaos Power Plant Rehabilitation Project

Djibouti

The Boulaos Power Station in the capital Djibouti City is the country’s largest, providing the bulk of all electricity and serving many neighboring towns. Of the plant’s 13 diesel generators, only three are working to full capacity, while the others are either non-operational or under-functioning. The present scheme will carry out rehabilitation works that will include the purchase of a new 14 MW diesel generator, together with a supply of spare parts. Once completed, the increased capacity will help reduce power outages and offer the population more reliable, less-expensive electricity services. Industrial users will also benefit from the project, in particular agro-industry and manufacturing.
