Italian energy group Eni will temporarily suspend operations at a gas plant in Ghana on Sunday to implement a supply increase, likely resulting in power cuts, the West African country said on Wednesday.
“Based on the advice from engineers, I have directed that we do not attempt to run those plants on liquid fuel for that short period. It involves changing nozzles, it involves a lot of work, and so if we are going off for about four to six hours, you don’t risk transitioning to liquid fuel only to come back to gas,” he said.
Entso-e, the association of EU transmission system operators, released a report on Monday evaluating bidding zone configurations with the purpose of establishing “optimal bidding zone configurations in Europe to maximize economic efficiency and cross-zonal trading opportunities, while maintaining security of supply.”
