Illustration of our Thermal Engineering expertise through 2 projects in Africa
Our experts have successfully supported numerous thermal power plant projects worldwide.Discover below two projects in Africa, ambassadors of the global expertise of our Thermal Engineering.
Construction of the Palmeira thermal power plant – Cape Verde

Our Thermal Engineering team was involved as project management consultant in the design and construction of an extension to the Palmeira thermal power plant in Cape Verde.
Our Thermal Engineering experts, appointed by Electra Sarl, worked on various phases of the Palmeira plant extension project on Sal Island, involving the addition of four diesel engines:
- Feasibility study (renewable solar and wind, diesel engines)
- Drafting of RFQ bidding documentation
- Assistance to selection of an EPC contractor (Engineering, Procurement & Construction)
- Monitoring of design studies and supervision of construction
Our teams based both in Paris and Palmeira handled the project management while ensuring compliance with the overall budget defined by the client.
Lifespan assessment of the Jorf Lasfar coal-fired plant – Morocco

TAQA Morocco has commissioned our Thermal Engineering experts to assess and optimize the performance of their facilities at the Jorf Lasfar power plant.
This project involves the development of feasibility studies and technical recommendations intended to respond to the challenges of TAQA Morocco, in particular:
- Analysis of operation and maintenance of the thermal power facilities
- Expert assessments of equipment and estimation of their industrial lifespan
- Proposals for improvements in maintenance, rehabilitation and investments to extend the plant’s operational life
