STEG - Bouchemma Simple-Cycle Power Plant

The Bouchemma plant will be located near the city of Gabs on the Tunisian coast at a site where 9E gas turbine technology has been installed since the 1990s. The Tunisian Electricity and Gas Company (STEG) plans to supply two 9E.03 gas turbines and the electrical Balance of Plant(eBOP) to help Tunisia avoid power outages in the coastal region during the 2016 summer tourist season. The project will put more than 250 MW on the Tunisian grid, the equivalent power needed to supply more than 1.2 million Tunisian homes. This allows for the use of the existing gas and electric substation connections in order to accommodate the new units and quickly connect to the network.
