According to his statement, the state of overall progress of work is now at 75 percent. A level progress that allows him to confirm the official launch date of the first turbines of the dam, scheduled for 31 May, 2015.
According to him, all the essential equipments are already there and the first unit of the turbine and alternator should no longer delay to be received at the port of Conakry. Taliby Sylla explains that on the site of Kaleta, activities are not global but sectoral.
There are some who make the dam, there are others who work on the plant and in China, there is also manufacturing, says the CEO of Kaleta Project who maintains that the port of the dam is completed one hundred percent. As for the evacuator hole, he adds, it is 45 percent and the remaining piece will be made from starting in November.
'When we speak of the access road, the opening is one hundred percent. Manufacturing is one hundred percent, but all is not yet arrived in Conakry. A first unit of the turbine and alternator will be at te port of Conakry. We want to show them to the population for the poeple to be more reassured that essential equipment is on site and the time we have promoted, May 31, 2015, will be held. So putting it all together, we can say that we are at 75 percent of work progresses, '' says, Taliby Sylla very confident.
For a production capacity estimated at 240mW, Kaleta is the energy flagship project of President Alpha Cond? whose first turbines should start spinning starting end of May 2015 . It will probably be the largest hydroelectric dam ever built in the history of the Guinea.
Carried out by the Chinese company China Water Energy (CWE) for $ 526 million, 30 percent of the production of the Kaleta dam will go to neighboring countries as part of the sub-regional interconnection project.
