- A new solar power plant is set to come online in Gabon.
- The plant will have a capacity of 120MWp.
The Gabonese authorities have just signed a framework agreement with Solen Energy to construct a 120MWp solar photovoltaic plant. The facility, which will be located in Ayémé Plaine, will be commissioned in two phases for the public power company.
Present at the signing ceremony were the Gabonese Minister of Energy and Hydraulic Resources, Alain-Claude Bilie-By-Nze, and Praveen Pai, Solen’s Operations Manager.
This company will be in charge of constructing the solar photovoltaic plant, which will have a capacity of 120MWp. The installation will be built in two phases of 60MWp each. According to Minister Alain-Claude Bilie-By-Nze, the Ayémé Plaine solar power plant is intended to “complete the electricity mix of the Estuary to offer the population an energy source that is both competitive, and that will effectively help to solve the problem of load shedding.”
