250 MW Libya contract is record breaker for APR Energy

APR Energy has signed its largest ever power rental contract, supplying 250 MW to Libya’s national utility company.

The power plants will provide interim power while the country repairs and builds its infrastructure as well as to cover anticipated power demand during the summer season.

APR will build four power plants using dual-fuel turbines – powered by diesel or natural gas fuel - located from the northern to the southern end of the country.

John Campion, APR’s CEO, said the project was groundbreaking in terms of its scale and scope; “The Libya contract, together with our two recent wins, totalling 300MW in Uruguay, aligns with APR Energy’s strategy to focus on large-scale power projects. We strongly believe that mobile dual-fuel turbines are the best fit and the customer technology of choice.”

The Libya contract will be the eighth major project that APR Energy has completed in Africa, and the latest to use its dual-fuel turbines.
