EDF PEI Larivot power station French Guyana ensures its energy transition

Top News05/14/2024
To meet French Guiana's growing energy needs and replace the existing Larivot power plant, which runs on fuel oil and is over 40 years old, EDF PEI has opted for liquid biomass, using vegetable oil-based biofuel, with the exception of palm and soya oils.
The construction of the Larivot Bioenergy Plant, with its guaranteed power of 120 MW, will provide French Guiana with a high-performance, reliable and environmentally-friendly industrial facility.

The technology used will help to reduce CO2 emissions by a factor of four.

Apave's teams in French Guiana are working hard on this project. They are assisting EDF PEI and the GME (Vinci Grands Projets, Vinci Grands Travaux, Wartsila) with technical control of the construction, health and safety on site, inspection and technical support. But that's not all! An engineer specialising in Health, Safety and the Environment is permanently on site. His role? To ensure that an effective Safety and Environmental Management System is in place, so that new production equipment can be delivered on schedule. Above all, his role is to provide genuine operational safety support to ensure that EDF PEI's long-lasting projects are a success!

This global collaboration with Apave means that safety and environmental protection can be controlled on site, which are EDF PEI's primary requirements for the successful completion of this major project in French Guyana.
