Project Description
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 Project Developer identified a potential project site near the town of Daboase for the 400MW power facility and staff village to be constructed. Combined Cycle Gas Turbine technology, with Heat Recovery Steam Generators and a single steam turbine was identified as the preferred generation technology. The Power Plant was to be connected to the 330kV grid belonging to GridCo of Ghana.
A component of the scoping study was for ADC to suggest a preliminary design of the facility to fit within the boundaries of the allocated land.
Both the scoping study results and preliminary design was used as input for a Project Information Memorandum (PIM) to be issued to potential financiers.

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.
