The national power utility of Cameroon is currently developing the Kribi Power Project. The project will be owned by a subsidiary of AES SONEL and all the electricity produced will be delivered to the Southern Interconnected Grid (SIG) and sold to AES SONEL through a Power Purchasing Agreement (PPA). The Project will be located in the equatorial region of Cameroon. It will comprise the construction of a 150 MW gas fired power plant. The project impacts on water resources are: (i) contamination through soil erosion or spillage of potentially contaminative materials such as fuels, and (ii) altering the quantity of available water by over abstraction or changing run-off within the catchments. The project mitigation measures to include: (i) wherever possible materials arising from site earthworks will be stored and used within the redevelopment of the site. This will reduce the number of off-site vehicle movements required; (ii) the area cleared for construction activities will be kept to a minimum, retaining ground cover where possible, including a screen of vegetation and mature trees between the power plant site and the main road and residential housing; (iii) all pipe work for fuel delivery and discharge ground; (iv) drains from the workshops will be fitted with oil separators; and (v) all foul sewage will be directed through a septic tank for treatment prior to discharge via a soak away.
