- Togolese government plan to deploy solar PV installations at the Lome airport.
- The prequalification tenders were issued last month.
The government of Togo has announced a relaunch of the call of tenders for the construction of a solar photovoltaic system at the Lome airport. The relaunch comes after the feasibility studies carried out by the Societe aeroportuaire de Lome-Tokoin (SALT).
A prequalification notice was issued last month for recruiting the firm that will finance, build and operate the 1.8MW plant.
According to Gnama Latta, CEO of SALT, “the service provider will have to commit to the acceptance of the conditions of validation of the trial period of the solar photovoltaic plant of three months, renewable once, during which the plant will have to generate a minimum saving on electricity bills of 25%.” He noted this in the prequalification consulted by Togo First. The plant will be built on a 5 ha land, and it will have a lifespan of 25 years.
