In north-western Tanzania, the Geita Gold Mine, the flagship of AngloGold Ashanti, sought a robust power generation solution to support its expanding operations.
Transitioning from open-pit to underground mining, the mine faced the challenge of ensuring a continuous power supply to avoid revenue losses from production interruptions. We stepped in with a turnkey engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) solution, coupled with a comprehensive 10-year Wärtsilä Operation and maintenance (O&M) agreement.
We delivered a 40 MW flexible power plant, incorporating four Wärtsilä 32TS engine generating sets. The EPC solution ensured a reliable power source and an uninterrupted electrical supply, mitigating downtime risks and revenue losses caused by power outages. The O&M agreement covered immediate repairs in case of breakdowns, further enhancing the reliability and performance of the power generation equipment.
Under the O&M agreement, local employees were recruited and trained to operate and maintain the power plant, contributing to the local economy by creating employment opportunities in the area. The Geita Gold Mine now benefits from responsive and efficient onsite maintenance, with regional and global teams providing quick and effective support.
The flexibility of the installed power plant allows for optimisation during its lifecycle through upgrades, modernisation, and potential fuel conversion. This adaptability ensures that the plant remains aligned with the mine’s evolving operational needs.
