Energy
Utility Corporation Limited (EUCL) is a subsidiary company of the Rwanda Energy
Group (REG). EUCL owns and operates a 15MW power plant that is designed to run
on peat.  The power station is located in Gishoma, Rusizi District, in
Rwanda’s Western Province, approximately 210 kilometers by road, southwest of
the city of Kigali, the capital and it is commonly known as GISHOMA Peat power
Plant.

The
peat to fuel the power station is being extracted from the Gishoma marshes,
close to where the power station is located. Unfortunately, the peat bog where
the power plant sources the fuel is running out of peat to fully meet the plant
capacity.
In
the effort to find alternative solutions that will allow continuous production
of the power station, it was thought that the plant should run on similar fuels
like coal.
In
that way EUCL needs to understand effects of running the plant on (coal, different
fuels, biomass, etc.)  without any modifications as well as required
modifications so that the plant is operated on multiple fuels in a safe manner.
It
is in regards to the above that EUCL requires consultancy and advisory services
in order to mitigate issues that might be entailed by switching from peat to
other fuel (peat form a peat bogs, biomass, coal) in a CFB(CIRCULATING
FLUIDIZED BED) boiler.
