Power In Sierra Leone

USP&E is pleased to announce that we have completed construction of our newest Containerized HFO Power Plant in Marampa, Sierra Leone, Africa. This 12.9 MW power plant is now fully operational and powering a productive iron mine in Sierra Leone.

The entire USP&E Global team worked together to successfully complete the power plant on time and on budget to the client’s satisfaction.  Our team of experienced engineers and technicians achieved exceptional results. As a result, USP&E was awarded a five-year operations and maintenance contract.

“We are thrilled with our results, but even more so with the overall success of our partnership with our client. It took everything we had and more to get this done and are very grateful for the work,” said Jason Biermeier, COO/Executive VP of USP&E.

Lights from First Electricity Generated by HFO Power Station in Sierra Leone

Generators 7 and 8 arrive on site, bringing total capacity to 12.8 MW!

With generators 5 and 6, power generation capacity reaches 9.6 MW.

We’re on a roll now. HFO Generators 3 and 4 have arrived on-site, bringing the total electricity generation capacity to 6.4 MW. Supporting equipment is starting to arrive as well. The HFO Purifying container was also placed onto its pad yesterday.

The first 2 containers that arrived in port now have made it to the construction site and are being placed on their concrete foundations. Since these are 1.6 MW HFO Generators, by the end of the day 3.2 MW of electricity generating potential is in place and waiting.

The first two of our many (92) containers have arrived in port in Freetown, Sierra Leone, Africa. Now, they just have to be loaded onto trucks so they can make the 2 hour journey to the construction site.

Dirt and foundation work continues in Sierra Leone. The great thing about our containerized generators and equipment is that there is no further construction required. Once these concrete and steel bases are ready then our equipment goes on top. Container-by-container a complete power plant quickly emerges.

USP&E has just started construction on a new Containerized HFO Power Plant in Sierra Leone, Africa. The first steps are to prepare the dirt then start building concrete pads for the equipment to sit on.
