CPP successfully commissions photovoltaic power project in Benin

In December 2024, the Commissioning and Operation Company of China Petroleum Pipeline Engineering Co., Ltd. (CPPCOC) successfully commissioned the 1.15 MW photovoltaic power generation project at pump station 07 of the Niger-Benin Crude Oil Pipeline Phase II. This achievement marks a key milestone in CPP’s efforts to expand its international presence and drive sustainable energy solutions worldwide.

The photovoltaic system is expected to generate approximately 1.095 million kWh of clean electricity annually for pump station 07, reducing CO2 emissions by around 0.09 tons per year. Additionally, it will save an estimated 365,000 litres of diesel annually, yielding cost savings of approximately USD 365,000. It is noteworthy that this is the first large-scale photovoltaic power generation project commissioned in Benin, demonstrating CPPCOC’s expertise in managing the commissioning of photovoltaic systems. This successful project not only highlights CPP’s commitment to renewable energy development but also contributes to global climate change mitigation efforts.

Through the successful delivery of this project, CPPCOC has reinforced its reputation as a trusted partner in project commissioning and laid a solid foundation for
