Tropical Power was the EPC contractor for the 2.2MW Biogas Power plant which is currently operational on Gorge Farm, one of VP Group’s main farms situated near Lake Naivasha. The plant has a capacity of 2.2MW of electrical power generation and 2MW of thermal capacity to provide heat
The plant converts the agricultural residue from the vegetable farm to electricity via the anaerobic digestion (AD) process. The vegetable farm residue is comprised of crop residue in the field (mainly maize stalks, broccoli, runner bean and French bean plants) and the waste that comes from the farm’s packing operations. AD is a technology that produces methane (biogas) which is a base for clean renewable energy generation. The biogas is then combusted in a combined heat and power plant to produce electricity. The electricity is consumed by the Farm and sold to the grid under a Power Purchase Agreement that was negotiated by Tropical Power. In addition to the electricity, waste heat energy is also recovered from the processed and re-used. |
