Atlanta-based Dominovas Energy has completed a 3MW,
multi-year guaranteed Power Provider Agreement (PPA) under which the company
will utilize its proprietary RUBICON™ Solid Oxide Fuel Cell system to provide
clean electricity to the City of David in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
The City of David is a public-private partnership (PPP),
between the government of the Democratic Republic of Congo and a private
enterprise, which will comprise 3,000 homes, a hospital, health clinics,
schools, malls, parks, food markets, sports centers, police stations, and waste
treatment facilities across 8,000 hectares. The project represents the first of
many efforts the Governor of the State of Katanga in the Democratic Republic of
Congo is pursuing across his state to increase the availability of affordable
housing and social facilities.
The physical deployment of the RUBICON™ in the Democratic
Republic of Congo is expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2016, marking
the largest single deployment of fuel cell technology on the continent of
Africa. The deployment also represents a paradigm shift in the Democratic
Republic of Congo’s approach to addressing concerns regarding harmful carbon
emissions, as well as to reducing the ever-expanding equipment maintenance and
inefficiencies associated with increased costs, as are endemic with power
generation from diesel generators and combined-cycle gas-fired turbine (CCGT)
power plants.
The RUBICON™ will produce more than 25.5 million kWh of
clean, efficient and reliable electricity every year. The 3MW PPA will yield
more than US$100 million in guaranteed revenue to Dominovas Energy over the
course of the agreement.
As announced in 2014, Dominovas Energy’s efforts are
supported via its partnership with Delphi Automotive Systems LLC, a subsidiary
of Delphi Automotive PLC, formed to jointly develop the technology and
methodologies necessary to facilitate the commercial manufacture, assembly and
deployment of the RUBICON™ system. The strategic partnership fully supports
Dominovas Energy’s continued deployment of clean energy solutions on a multi-MW
scale, in every market the company has engaged to deploy the RUBICON™.
Emilio De Jesus, president of Dominovas Energy African
Operations, stated, “I am excited about this historic deployment of the
RUBICON™ that will support the City of David project.” DeJesus and François
Nyamulengwa, Dominovas Energy’s country managing director, are equally
enthusiastic and have shared that they are additionally looking forward to
Dominovas Energy’s continued engagement with the Democratic Republic of Congo,
knowing that the country is dedicated and leading the charge in the “clean and
efficient energy” movement.
“President Kabila’s leadership and foresight will allow the
RUBICON™ to make a tremendous difference in the lives of millions in the
Democratic Republic of Congo, and Dominovas Energy is honored to have been
given this opportunity. We look forward to establishing a new paradigm for the
future of how energy is distributed across the entire continent,” stated
Nyamulengwa.
