AMEA Power Launches Construction of a 50MW Solar PV Project in Ivory Coast
Amea Power has broken ground on a 50 MW Bondoukou Solar PV project in the north-eastern Gontougo region, Ivory Coast.
The Bondoukou Solar PV Plant will generate 85 GWh of clean energy annually to power approximately 358,000 households while offsetting more than 52,000 tons of CO2 emissions. The project is being implemented by AMEA Goutougo, a project company registered in Ivory Coast and fully owned by AMEA Power.
The US$60 million project is being financed by FMO and DEG and will support the government’s goal of increasing the share of renewable energy in its electricity mix to 45% by 2030.
