ENERGY - Electricity production increases in Toamasina
Electricity supply in the city of Toamasina should return to normal soon. Filatex Energy has strengthened its production capacity. It now has a 24 MW HFO production capacity available to Jirama in this port city. A 4 MW generation unit, recently out of maintenance, is operational again. In parallel, the power plant received a 6 MW Wärtsilä brand HFO engine to increase energy production. "We will continue to communicate regularly on the progress of our work and production capacity. Filatex Energy teams remain mobilized day and night to support Jirama in stabilizing the network and contributing to the sustainable recovery of the energy sector," said Tahina Ramaromandray, director of public relations for the Filatex Group, in a press release on July 9. The priority remains ensuring continuity of supply to essential infrastructure, particularly health facilities such as Morafeno Hospital and Be Analakininina Hospital. Beyond these immediate actions, Filatex Energy continues its commitment to sustainable recovery of Madagascar's energy sector. The company is studying the possibility of launching the second phase of its solar program this year to sustainably support the country's energy transition.
