Today before the opening bell, Dominovas Energy announced
that it has entered a 3MW multi-year Power Provider Agreement (PPA) to provide
electricity to the Somico Mine in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC)
via its proprietary RUBICON™ Solid Oxide Fuel Cell system. This news
immediately follows a press release issued last week of a different
multi-megawatt power provider agreement in the same country with the City of
David. The two wins can be attributed to Dominovas Energy’s ongoing campaign to
electrify the continent with its state-of-the-art, clean, reliable and
efficient source for power generation.
Located in the SANKURU/LUSAMBO region of the DRC, the Somico
Mine has one of the largest certified concentrations of diamonds, gold and iron
ore in Africa. The mine is one of several operated by SOMICO-RDC SARL.
Dominovas Energy plans to use the Somico Mine project as a model for deploying
RUBICON™ systems throughout Africa and other global markets. With the vast
reserves of natural resources in Africa, the mining sector represents a
tremendous opportunity for the company’s continued expansion across diverse
applications of its proprietary fuel cell system. The mining sector in Africa
represents a multi-billion dollar industry with the potential to deploy more
than 25,000 MW of power to mining operations and their communities.
Dominovas Energy anticipates beginning the physical
deployment of the RUBICON™ in the Democratic Republic of Congo in Q4 of 2016.
According to today’s press release, “The 3MW installation is a continuation of
what is the largest single deployment of fuel cell technology on the continent
of Africa, representing a paradigm shift in the DRC’s approach to addressing
concerns regarding harmful carbon emissions, and to reducing the ever-expanding
equipment maintenance and inefficiencies that are associated with increased
costs, as are endemic with power generation from diesel generators,
combined-cycle gas-fired turbine (CCGT) power plants, and other
combustion-centric technologies.”
The company stated the RUBICON™ will produce over 25.5
million kWh of clean, efficient and reliable electricity every year with the
3MW Power Provider Agreement (PPA) yielding more than US$107 million in
guaranteed revenue over the multi-year term PPA.
Emilio De Jesus, president of Dominovas Energy’s Africa
Division, commented, “I am thrilled that my executive management team has given
me the latitude to execute to this scale and magnitude. Somico Mine will
establish the new blueprint for how mine operators in Africa and other emerging
markets support their mining operations, using off-grid ‘clean’ energy
solutions.”
Dominovas Energy COO Michael Watkins added, “This is an
exciting day for Dominovas Energy. Today, we are reaping the benefits of sales
cycle maturation that has required patience, diligence, and careful planning.
As a result, our pipeline of projects is creating the type of production scale
that will promote efficient and cost-effective manufacturing. Our signed PPAs
will further support job creation and expansion domestically, as the RUBICON™
is manufactured and supported by a robust supply-chain in the U.S.”
