A joint venture of UK's Enshore Subsea and Belgian Herbosch-Kiere has laid the two submarine cables for what is said to be a project that aims to revolutionize Senegal's power infrastructure and provide sustainable electricity to millions of people. Foreign suppliers of fibre optic cable equipment win Senegalese work through a short list of network operators and one state agency. The freshest signal is Sonatel's commissioning of the 2Africa submarine cable in December 2025, a 45,000 km system rated at 180 Tbps that is Senegal's fifth. Eiffage, through Herbosch-Kiere (Eiffage Benelux subsidiary) in a 50/50 joint venture with Enshore Subsea (a leading UK based subsea engineering company), has signed an EPCI contract with MCA-Sénégal II for the design, manufacture and installation of undersea electrical cables in Dakar, Senegal. Senegal's Subsea Cable Project Marks a New Chapter in African Energy Infrastructure The successful laying of two 225kV subsea cables across Gorée Bay is a milestone in Senegal's Power Compact. The consortium is said to be a 50/50 joint venture between Eiffage's Benelux subsidiary Herbosch-Kiere and Enshore. Offshore energy solutions provider Enshore Subsea has successfully secured a $200 million contract for cable works as part of the Senegal Power Compact project. This ambitious program, jointly financed by the US-based Millennium Challenge Corporation and the Senegalese government, aims to.
