AMEA Power reaches financial close on 26.6 MWp solar PV power plant in Zina

The 26.6 MWp Zina solar PV power plant in Burkina Faso has officially reached a financial close, according to AMEA Power. 

Zina Solaire, a project firm wholly owned by AMEA Power, is building the solar plant in the village of Zina in the Mouhoun province, benefitting more than 43,000 individuals. The company has inked a public-private partnership (PPP) agreement with SONABEL, the national utility company, for a 25-year power purchase agreement.

The project is financed by the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the IFC-Canada Climate Change Program and the Emerging Africa Infrastructure Fund (EAIF), a member of the Private Infrastructure Development Group (PIDG).
