Lekela, the renewable power generation company that delivers utility-scale projects across Africa, has signed a grant agreement with the United States International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) to fund a feasibility study for an extension to the Parc Eolien Taiba N’Diaye (PETN) wind farm in Senegal.
With a target capacity of 100 MW, the expansion would greatly increase the output of the 158.7 MW wind farm. It will also contribute significantly towards Senegal meeting its renewable energy targets.
The feasibility study, which is expected to be completed within 15 months, will be jointly financed by Lekela and DFC. The study covers an area west of the existing wind farm and will consist of a wind measurement campaign, a network study, an environmental impact study, and other on-site surveys.
