- Tinda Cash group is to build two power plants in the Ignié special economic zone (SEZ) in the Pool department of the Republic of Congo.
- The 65 MW of electricity generated by the future facilities will come from solar energy and the combustion of household waste.
The building of the Ignié 2021–2046 hybrid and scalable solar and biomass electrification project has recently received approval from the government of the Republic of Congo. The Congolese subsidiary of the Tinda Cash Group has a BOOT (build, own, operate, transfer) agreement with the two power plants. The two plants will be situated in the Pool department of the Ignié special economic zone (SEZ), enhancing its level of energy independence.
The first facility will be a hybrid solar power facility with a 55 MW capacity. With a 10 MW installed capacity, the second plant will use domestic garbage to produce power. The project will assist the Ignié SEZ in minimizing pollutants and carbon emissions and enhancing the electricity supply.
With a $150 million investment, Tinda Cash Group has 36 months to finish the project in the Ignie Special Economic Zone. The organization will profit from the technical assistance provided by Sinohydro, a significant player in Chinese construction, and JA Solar, a manufacturer of photovoltaic equipment with operations in more than 100 nations.
The supervisory authorities and the project partners are still in conversation while waiting for the work to start. For Tinda Cash to begin its many projects, the Congolese government must expropriate the site’s current tenants.
