Gen. Ian Khama
In a recent State of the Nation address, President Lieut. Gen. Ian Khama of Botswana declared that “energy sufficiency (in Botswana) is an urgent priority” and the APR power facility was one of several immediate interventions being utilized to reduce the impact of the current power deficit affecting Botswana as well as most of Southern and Sub- Saharan Africa.
APR has supplied turnkey power plants similar to the Francistown power project at remote locations all over the world. These fast- track power projects in the Americas, Africa, the Middle East and Asia utilize various technologies and fuel solutions as well as state of the art monitoring and controls systems.
“Our recent project in Botswana is a prime example of how APR is constantly striving to apply the most advanced technologies and techniques to every power plant we install and operate,” said David Dorman, Project Manager for the Francistown, Botswana Power Project. “To have the ability to rapidly mobilize and commence operation of a 70MW power plant in such a remote location is truly a credit to APR’s innovations in the field of power generation.”
