Senegal Begins Major LNG Conversion of Bel Air Power Plant
Senegal has initiated the conversion of the 335 MW Bel Air power plant in Dakar from heavy fuel oil to LNG.
The project, led by national utility Senelec and Finnish firm Wärtsilä, began on May 13 and is scheduled for completion by the end of the year.
The conversion is taking place in two phases. The first phase involves upgrading the plant’s engines to run on LNG. The second phase will finalize the switch to gas as the primary fuel.
The move supports Senegal’s broader strategy to reduce reliance on imports and enhance energy security by utilizing domestic gas resources.
