Project Description

The Project consists in the development, design, financing, construction, operation and maintenance of a 33 MW greenfield Solar Plant located in Segou, Mali. The installation will be equipped with approximately 130,000 photovoltaic modules, installed on a fixed mounted structure and optimized to have a total production of about 57 GWh on yearly basis (i.e 4% of the total electricity production in Mali.). The Plant will be connected to the national grid through a transmission line included into the Project’s Scope. The Project will sell power to the national utility EDM under a 25 years Power Purchase Agreement (“PPA”) backed by a guarantee from the Government of Mali and an IDA Partial Risk Guarantee.
