Power and knowledge intelligence agency TGS ASA has secured a mission to conduct a pre-feasibility examine for the electrical interconnection of the Cabo Verde Islands in Western Africa off the coast of Senegal.
The mission is in collaboration with RTE Worldwide and Consultores de Engenharia e Ambiente S.A. (COBA), TGS mentioned in a information launch.
The examine is a part of Cabo Verde’s power transition efforts underneath the Authorities of Luxembourg’s Improvement-Local weather-Power (DCE) program. The initiative goals to extend renewable power penetration, reinforce power safety, and promote financial sustainability in Cabo Verde, in line with the discharge.

The examine may even be a cornerstone of Cabo Verde’s Power Grasp Plan (2018-2040), which goals for half of its electrical energy to be generated from renewable sources by 2030, TGS famous.
Key components of the examine embody evaluating the potential for offshore and onshore renewable power integration and exploring storage options comparable to pump storage programs and battery storage.
TGS mentioned it is going to leverage its in depth offshore energy intelligence underneath the 4C Offshore identify. The evaluation will assess the technical, financial, and environmental feasibility of interconnecting the islands, an important step towards optimizing renewable power assets comparable to wind, photo voltaic, and doubtlessly inexperienced hydrogen.
“With its distinctive geographic and weather conditions, Cabo Verde presents alternatives to harness renewable power successfully, and the island interconnection would additional improve power effectivity, scale back prices, and improve the potential for offshore renewable power tasks,” TGS mentioned.
Carel Hooijkaas, Govt Vice President of New Power Options at TGS, mentioned, “We’re proud to be a part of this transformative journey for Cabo Verde. The mission award underscores our dedication to advancing renewable power options and aligns with the bold objectives of Cabo Verde’s Power Grasp Plan. By leveraging the 4C Offshore experience, we purpose to assist Cabo Verde and different island nations obtain their imaginative and prescient of a sustainable and resilient power future, considerably lowering carbon footprints whereas enhancing power independence”.
Seismic Information Acquisition within the Norwegian Sea
In the meantime, TGS reported the profitable completion of the PGS24M04NWS mission within the Outer Vøring space of the Norwegian Sea, carried out by the crew aboard the Ramform Hyperion.
The mission extends the 2023 acquisition program within the space, TGS mentioned in a separate information launch.
Regardless of durations of tough climate, the Hyperion impressively lined greater than 579 sq. miles (1,500 sq. kilometers) of prime manufacturing in only one month. After safely and efficiently recovering all gear, the vessel made its first port name in Lerwick as a part of its demobilization plan.
David Hajovsky, TGS Govt Vice President of Multi-Shopper, mentioned, “This accomplishment is a testomony to the distinctive teamwork between the crew, operations, navigation, imaging, enterprise growth and gross sales groups. Their collaboration throughout this busy interval for TGS highlights the dedication and coordination that contributed to this unbelievable achievement”.
TGS mentioned it continues to reinforce its seismic knowledge protection throughout the Norwegian Sea with its Geostreamer expertise, “offering high-end exploration knowledge to resolve the imaging challenges current within the space and improve infrastructure-led exploration to disclose remaining hydrocarbon potential”.
