Early this year MACOGA signed a contract for delivery of a large number of Lateral Tied Expansion Joints and a Pressure Balanced DN2400 unit for the AG2 Power Plant located in La Trinité on the French island of Martinique in the Caribbean. Martinique is one of the eighteen regions of France (being an overseas region) and an integral part of the French Republic. As part of France, Martinique is part of the European Union. 

Electricity generated from Martinique power plant in La Trinité will be utilized by French company EDF for the distribution grid along with delivery to the nearby sugar mill and distillery. AG2 Power Plant will be the largest all-biomass power plant in overseas France. The new facility will help to decrease Martinique's dependence on imported fossil energy, generating enough frontline renewable electricity to cover 15% of the island's energy requirements.
