Ivorian Prime Minister Robert Beugré Mambé inaugurated on 6 November 2026 in Taboth, near Jacqueville, the 390 MW Atinkou combined-cycle thermal power plant, an investment of 265 billion CFA francs. Backed by the Eranove group, the facility is expected to produce more than 2,800 GWh a year, according to Connectionivoirienne.
The ATINKOU combined-cycle thermal power plant represents an investment of 265 billion CFA francs and brings Ivory Coast’s national electricity capacity to 3,337 MW, according to Connection Ivoirienne. Inaugurated on 6 November in Taboth, in the commune of Jacqueville, it has an annual production capacity of more than 2,800 GWh.
ATINKOU, a subsidiary of energy group ERANOVE, is presented as the first Type F thermal power plant built in Ivory Coast. Its combined-cycle operation allows heat from electricity generation to be recovered to produce more energy.
The inauguration ceremony was held under the presidency of Robert Beugré Mambé, Ivorian Prime Minister, in the presence notably of Mamadou Sangafowa-Coulibaly, Minister of Mines, Petroleum and Energy. The new capacity adds in particular to the 46 MW of the biomass power plant inaugurated in Ayébo on 6 November.
