Aggreko to provide solar-diesel hybrid power to Nevsun in Eritrea

Aggreko announced that it has signed a 10-year deal to supply 22 MW of diesel and 7.5 MW of solar-generated power for the Nevsun’s copper and zinc operations in Eritrea.

Aggreko’s CEO, Chris Weston said that they are delighted to be chosen by Nevsun to power their mining operations in Eritrea. Technology never stands still, and neither does Aggreko. Our mobile, modular power enables us to make a massive difference to the communities and industries we serve, and our solar-diesel hybrid offering is an example of an innovation that brings cost-effective, reliable, uninterrupted power with additional fuel flexibility to customers.

Aggreko’s solar-diesel hybrid power package combines cost-effectiveness and green renewable energy with the reliability of diesel-generated power to provide uninterrupted power round the clock. The hybrid programme was developed at Aggreko’s state of the art manufacturing and technology centre in Dumbarton, Scotland, and uses the latest diesel generators, which are considered to be the most efficient in the world.
