Guinea - Regional Dispatching Centre in Conakry
Construction of a regional dispatching centre (RDC) in Conakry in order to manage the MV systems, to optimize energy distribution in the different quarters of Conakry and to reduce losses. The RDC will complete the EMS functions of the national dispatching centre (NDC), and certain interfaces will be integrated to ensure the ex-change of information between the two dispatching centres.

Mongolia - Thermal Power Plant #4, Ulaanbaatar (Consulting Services for Modernization and Rehabilitation)
The project encompasses the modernisation and rehabilitation of the Russian design coal-fired Thermal Power Plant # 4 in Ulaanbaatar which is the largest power plant in Mongolia, supplying electricity and heat to more than one third of the Mongolian population, i.e. approx. 1.1 million people. It generates more than 70% of the electricity for the central energy system. The plant consists of eight coal-fired boilers of 480 t/h which feed six turbines (1 x 80 and 5 x 100 MW). Steam is extracted for district heating and industrial use. The plant runs on middle-grade lignite from the Bangannur and Shivee-Ovoo mines. Project measures should achieve an increase of available capacity by 11.7 MW, a decrease of specific coal consumption and a reduction of the CO2 emissions.
