The scope of works comprises the installation of one new Pelton type turbine generating unit of at least 4 MW at the power station complete with electro-mechanical equipment and associated civil works, and the disassembly of existing two units: G4 (Partial disassembly) and G5 (Full disassembly).

The station, which is located in the western part of the Indian Ocean island nation, was built in 1903 with a 250 kW turbine. The powerhouse is currently equipped with four units with a nameplate capacity of 11 MW and an effective capacity of 9.5 MW, operating under a gross head of 295 m.

A dam impounds a reservoir with a capacity of 2.25 million m3 which delivers water via two 1.4 km-long penstocks.
