AMEA Power starts the commercial operation of the 50 MW Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed solar photovoltaic plant developed in Blitta, Togo. The project is one of the largest solar independent power producer (IPP) models in West Africa.
AMEA Togo Solar will operate the solar farm for 25 years. The West African Development Bank (BOAD) and the Abu Dhabi Fund for Development (ADFD) have provided loans to build the project.
The project can generate up to 90 GWh of energy per year that is enough to meet the annual consumption of about 160,000 homes.
