Clarke Energy has signed its first deal in Algeria at PlastPaper’s industrial plastics facility in Oran.

  • Clarke Energy signs deal to install a captive power plant at Plast Paper’s industrial plastic goods manufacturing facility in Oran
  • Deal represent first megawatt of GE’s Jenbacher gas engine power plants for Clarke Energy in the country
  • Plastpaper is installing the gas engine to ensure the factory has a more reliable supply of electricity and to prevent grid disturbances from affecting the facility’s production process.

Clarke Energy has secured its first power plant sale in Algeria. Algeria has enormous gas reserves and has historically utilised large gas turbines for generating power or diesel fuelled generators in more remote locations.

In a separate deal Clarke Energy has also secured its first sales for a 1MW natural gas-fuelled captive power plant at Plastpaper’s industrial plastic goods production facility in the city of Oran. The project will showcase how GE’s gas engines are a cost-effective alternative to diesel generators for grid support and industrial energy security. This will operate generating stable reliable electricity for the facility and will prevent micro disturbances from the local electricity grid affecting the plastics extrusion process.

Clarke Energy’s Didier Lartigue stated ‘We are delighted to have secured our first order in Algeria. This  project will demonstrate the reliability and efficiency of gas-fuelled distributed generation in the Algerian market.’
