Pita Hydroelectric Power Station (PHPS) is a planned hydroelectric power station, across the Fétoré River, a tributary of Kakrima River, in Guinea. The power station is under development by Eiffage International, a French civil engineering and construction company, based in Asnières-sur-Seine, a suburb of Paris, about 8km (05miles), north of that city's centre.[1] [2]
The power station would be located near the town of Pita, in Pita Prefecture, in the Mamou Region, in south-central Guinea. Pita is located approximately 108km (67miles), by road, northwest of the town of Mamou, the provincial capital. This is approximately 313km (194miles), by road, northeast of Conakry, the capital and largest city in the country.
In September 2019, the French civil engineering and construction company Eiffage, presented the feasibility study for this power station to an audience in Conakry, Guinea's capital city. The Fétoré River, across which the dam will be built, is a seasonal river, which will support this power station for six months of the year, during the rainy season. It is now planned to build an associated solar power station to complement the seasonal hydroelectric dam.[1] [2]
The Pita Hydroelectric Power Station, is under development and is owned by Eiffage, a French civil engineering and construction company.[1] [2]
The most recent available cost estimation for his renewable energy project is US$92.3 million. Construction will take approximately six years.[1]
