Green Technology Worth Knowing About for 2023 (and Beyond)
The Kelvin power station is situated in Johannesburg and was constructed in 1957, making it one of the oldest coal fired power stations in South Africa. The original capacity of this facility was 600MW but with the shutdown of a portion of the plant in 2012, it currently has a capacity of approximately 300MW.
ADC was approached by an international Company to conduct an evaluation on a 1040 MW Combined Cycle Gas Turbine station (CCGT), in the Middle East. As part of this evaluation process, ADC had to compile a comprehensive Due Diligence report and investment model of the power station’s business, that would comply with the requirements of international financing.
An international cement manufacturer is constructing a plant near Kimpese, in the Bas Congo Province of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The new substation was constructed to provide power to the cement plant and will be supplied from SNEL’s Kwilu Substation with a 220kV transmission line. The distance is approximately 14 km.
ADC and an international investor teamed up to conduct a due diligence to acquire a stake in a Heavy Fuel Oil facility in Mombasa, Kenya. The facility had been in operation for 11 years and had a remaining net plant capacity of 75 MW.
Development on the Power Alt facility; Middelburg, South Africa, started in 2007, where ADC was able to reach financial close on this 10MW facility within 3 weeks of partnering with an interested lender/investor.
ADC was approached by an international developer to assist in a solution to effectively and efficiently utilise 3 million gigajoules of Mozambican Royalty Gas.
ADC conducted a Feasibility Study on behalf of a private mine to assess the feasibility of a potential High Voltage cross-border transmission line, supplying electricity to the mines in the DRC directly from Zambia.
ADC was tasked with the Project Management of an EDM/Kuvaninga network integration project. This project entailed the interconnection of the 40MW Kuvaninga Power Facility to the network consisting of a 7 km double circuit 110kV transmission line from the Kuvaninga facility to the Lionde substation in Chokwe.
ADC Projects was contracted to assist in a High Level Scoping Study to determine the requirements for a Thermal Power Facility project in Ghana to progress into the feasibility phase.
The Lesotho Highlands Power Project was established in 2009 following the signing of a Memorandum of Agreement between the Government of Lesotho and a South African developer.
ADC was approached by the Mozambican Electricity utility, Electricidade de Mocambique (EdM) to act as the Owner’s Engineer, Project manager and site supervision for the construction and commissioning of the High-Pressure Customer Metering Station (HPCMS) in Chokwe.
ADC was approached by the international technology supplier Soitec to perform SPV management tasks for the Special Purpose Vehicle Company which was formed to construct a 40MW Concentrated Photovoltaic Solar facility.
