Guinea: Local businessman takes over temporary power supply


Issue 297 - 26 Mar 2015 | 1 minute read

A company replacing Aggreko to provide 135MW of temporary power is linked to a local businessman and not to US interests as officials originally indicated (AE 296/8). A source at the energy ministry told African Energy that K Energy SA was registered by the businessman and honorary consul of South Korea in Guinea, Ibrahima Kassus Dioubaté. K Energy was established on 27 May 2014 and registered at investment agency Agence de Promotion des Investissements Privés on 28 May 2014. “Kassus has strong support within the presidency. He has been received several times by President Alpha Condé himself. It is he who introduced the company here, inspired by the Aggreko model,” one official told African Energy.
