據天然氣加工網站8月3日消息 科特迪瓦礦業和能源部長托馬斯·卡馬拉周二表示，科特迪瓦正在就建設一座200兆瓦的液化天然氣發電廠進行談判，以避免今年早些時候震驚該國的停電事故。

　　延長的旱季降低了5月份水電站大壩的水位，導致家庭和企業斷電，并切斷了包括馬里在內的西非鄰國的電力供應。

　　卡馬拉表示，自7月9日以來，流量已恢復正常，而截至本周，出口已有所上升。

　　“我們已經采取措施確保這種情況不會重演”，他在新聞發布會上宣布了液化天然氣工廠的計劃。

　　他說，一旦討論結束，能源部將進一步分享有關該工廠建設成本和計劃的細節。

　　該公司總干事當時表示，5月份的停電是由于發電缺口約為200兆瓦，相當于國家電力公司2230兆瓦發電能力的近10%。

　　Ivory Coast to build 200 MW LNG plant

　　Ivory Coast is in talks to build a 200 megawatt power plant fueled by LNG as it seeks to avoid outages that rocked the country earlier this year, Mines and Energy Minister Thomas Camara said on Tuesday.

　　A prolonged dry season reduced water levels at hydropower dams in May, leaving households and businesses without power as well as cutting supplies to neighbouring West African countries including Mali.

　　Camara said flows had returned to normal since July 9, while exports had risen as of this week.

　　“We have taken steps to ensure that this circumstantial situation does not repeat itself,” he told a news conference, announcing the plan for the LNG plant.

　　The ministry will share further details on the cost and timeframe for the plant’s construction once discussions are concluded, he said.

　　The outages in May were a result of a generation deficit of about 200 MW, or nearly 10% of the national power company’s 2,230 MW capacity, its director general said at the time.
