LC Africa, a leading company in remote mining and construction camp specialists, is excited to announce a strategic collaboration with Siemens Gamesa, a global leader in the wind power industry. This collaboration signifies a pivotal advancement towards supporting Ethiopia’s renewable energy ambitions and fostering environmental stewardship.
LC Africa’s expertise in remote industrial camp solutions is poised to play a critical role in facilitating the commencement and smooth operation of the wind project in Ethiopia. As Siemens Gamesa embarks on its inaugural wind power project in the country, LC Africa’s contribution becomes indispensable.
To kickstart the wind project, LC Africa has undertaken the construction of the first phase of the construction camp in Ethiopia. This phase involves the modification of numerous shipping container units to serve as essential facilities for the construction team. These units encompass office and conference facilities, a fully-equipped kitchen and dining area, as well as washrooms and locker facilities. The conversion process takes place at our facility located in Nairobi, after which the units are transported to Ethiopia via Northern Kenya. The design and adaptation of these containers ensure that the construction team is equipped with all necessary amenities to carry out their duties effectively and comfortably, even in the remotest of locations
Siemens Gamesa’s involvement in Ethiopia’s renewable energy landscape has been marked by securing the Assela wind farm project in partnership with Ethiopian Electric Power (EEP). Situated between Adama and Assela, this pioneering wind farm project is poised to deliver 100MW of clean, accessible power to the Ethiopian grid, benefiting hundreds of thousands of households. Aligned with Ethiopia’s ambitious objective of meeting 100% of its domestic energy demand through renewable sources by 2030, the Assela wind farm represents a significant milestone in the nation’s sustainable development journey.
The construction camp serves as a central hub for the project’s workforce, providing a conducive environment for coordination, collaboration, and rest. This infrastructure support from LC Africa enables Siemens Gamesa to focus on the deployment of its cutting-edge SG3.4-132 wind turbines, crucial components of the Assela wind farm. With LC Africa’s logistical support in place, Siemens Gamesa can proceed with confidence, knowing that the construction team is well-equipped and supported throughout the project’s lifecycle.
