The Republic of Congo has recommissioned the first turbine at the Centrale Électrique du Congo (CEC) after completing a two-month overhaul. The first turbine, which had reached the end of its operational cycle, resumed service on March 31, restoring 150 MW to the national grid.

The Congolese government holds an 80% stake holds an 80% stake in the CEC. The remaining 20% is held by Eni Congo, reflecting a public-private partnership aimed at strengthening the country’s energy infrastructure.

Looking ahead, the CEC plans to add a fourth turbine to its existing infrastructure. Currently, the CEC operates three turbines each with a capacity of 150 MW, totaling 484 MW. The addition of this fourth turbine aims to increase the plant’s production capacity to meet the country’s growing electricity demand.
