In association with Harlequin International, Thomassen Energy held its inaugural AMC in Africa marking a significant milestone on a continent where the company has been actively engaged for decades and plans to continue exploring substantial business opportunities.
The event commenced triumphantly. It was a spectacular showcase characterized by a vibrant atmosphere and engaging interactions and garnered numerous accolades from attendees.
The event officially began on Monday, June 3, with a training day. We commenced registration at noon and promptly started the training sessions. The training attracted 38 participants from seven countries, representing 17 customers, ensuring extensive representation of operational power plants across Africa.
Cihan, the Area Sales Manager for Africa and Master of Ceremonies, inaugurated the Training Day. Following him, Hans and Franklin led various training modules. Their sessions, underscored by insightful queries from the audience, reflected a high level of engagement. Participants received their training certificates at the pool bar, where we also offered refreshments and small bites, and welcomed newly arrived guests for the following day. The evening concluded with a dinner that included the Thomassen team and key attendees, allowing time for appreciative business discussions.
The AMC Conference unfolded on Tuesday, June 4. I had the pleasure of welcoming 44 participants with an opening speech that morning. The day featured a variety of speakers, including a keynote from the Deputy Minister of Energy, Honourable Mr. John Sadie. His speech adeptly addressed the challenges and prospects of the energy transition for all stakeholders involved. A panel discussion with leaders from Harlequin International and PE Energy offered insights into market dynamics and the benefits of national partnerships, emphasizing collaborative efforts to serve our West African clientele better.
The afternoon we provided opportunities for networking over lunch, followed by sessions detailing our service offerings, GT upgrades, rotor life extension programs, and our advanced control system, TC7. The day concluded with an interactive session led by Peter, gathering valuable customer feedback on how our solutions enhance the availability and reliability of gas turbines.
The AMC 2024 Africa closed with a festive African-themed dinner featuring barbecue and performances by the renowned Kwanpa Band.

Driving Technology for the Energy Transition
We had our first Asset Managers Conference (AMC) since the start of the pandemic, and our first ever “hybrid” event which meant face to face at the venue in Arnhem the Netherlands, and online via web feeds/webcams including an interactive option/possibility to ask questions to our Technical Experts and presenters. We are delighted to mention that we have exceeded attendance expectations with many individual customers and business partners at our venue. Many online participants located in Asia or South America took the opportunity to join our conference, even being a European time zone event.
During our AMC we took the opportunity to showcase TEN’s technologies/services and provided information about our developments & near future decarbonization solutions to our customers. Next to near future outlook, the audience learned about solutions implemented as we speak. The future is now and H2 solutions are ready for implementation and TEN is already executing several projects where hydrogen mixing in larger quantities is guaranteed. We also incorporated the Hanwha group (including our esteemed colleagues from PSM) offerings to show our customers our value (hydrogen) value chain, reinforcing to our customers TEN’s seamless integration into the Hanwha family, and their family into ours.
We received immensely positive feedback as TEN continues to surprise and amaze with the current state of our Hydrogen combustion developments. The event agenda included technical presentations, Panel Sessions like “Voice of the Customer” and “Low Carbon Market & Gas Turbines” , a customer workshop tour at TEN’s premises, followed by round table discussions to focus on specific industry and/or technology platforms highlighting topics such as; Service/Maintenance Execution Essentials, Digital Solutions Controls and Remote Monitoring, B/E class Upgrade Options for Aging assets and AutoTune demos. Several customers, representing jointly 60+ years “Thomassen experience” with full scope frame 5, 6B and 9E gas turbines services, took the effort sharing their experience with the audience!
We are preparing for a hybrid event meaning it will be possible to join us on location or online. Check out our final agenda of this event!
The event will focus on low carbon gas turbine retrofits as well as conventional gas turbine parts, services, support and upgrades. You can expect interesting presentations and panel sessions with existing customers and industry experts, and round table sessions hosted by specialized Thomassen Energy engineers.
