Installation of penstocks for the Nachtigal hydroelectric project completed

We've successfully finished installing the 7 penstocks for the Nachtigal Hydropower Project in Cameroon!



Installation of Nachtigal penstocks completed

On November 21, 2023, Nachtigal Hydropower project reached a major milestone with the installation of the last pipe, marking the completion of the seven penstocks (5.6 m in diameter).

Assembly operations, which began in November 2021, have now officially concluded. Nachtigal will be Cameroon’s largest hydropower plant, injecting more than 420 MW of electricity into the national grid.

The work was carried out by ATB RIVA Calzoni, responsible for the design, installation and commissioning. The penstocks were fabricated on-site within a fully equipped temporary workshop—an approach that optimized logistics and leveraged local expertise.

This achievement highlights the dedication and professionalism of the ATB RIVA Calzoni team. We congratulate everyone who contributed exceptionally to this important milestone.
