Why did Ivory Coast Open a 37.5 megawatt solar power plant?
Ivory Coast officially opened a 37.5 megawatt (MW) solar power plant on Wednesday in what the government said was the first step of a plan to integrate more renewable energy into the power sector.
Why did Ivory Coast build its first solar power plant?
As part of its drive to diversify electricity generation sources and increase the share of renewable energies in its energy mix (45% by ), Ivory Coast commissioned RMT to build the country's very first photovoltaic solar power plant, with a capacity of 37.5 MWp, spread over 69,440 550 Wp solar panels and 168 inverter-strings of 250 kVA.
How much solar energy will Ivory Coast have in 5 years?
“In five years, the share of solar energy will be 9%,” stated Prime Minister of Ivory Coast, Robert Beugré Mambé during the power plant inauguration on April 24. Its capacity is set to expand to 80 MW by , with financing for the expansion already approved by the government.
Will Ivory Coast build a solar power plant in Tchologo?
Ivory Coast aims to increase its installed power capacity to 3.5 GW by and 8.6 GW by . As part of this strategy, the country’s Ministry of Mines, Petroleum and Energy signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with renewable energy company Kong Solaire earlier this month to construct a 50 MW solar power plant in the Tchologo region.
Will Ivory Coast start a solar power plant in Sokoro?
In April this year, Ivory Coast announced the start of construction of the $63.5 million Ferke solar power plant in Sokoro, which will have an installed capacity of 52 MW. Set to commence operation by Q3 , the project stems from an agreement signed in January with renewable energy company PFO Africa and is supported by Germany and the EU.
How much power does the Ivory Coast have?
Its capacity is set to expand to 80 MW by , with financing for the expansion already approved by the government. The Ivory Coast currently has installed power capacity of 2,907 MW, with seven operational hydroelectric dams serving as its primary renewable energy source alongside four existing gas and oil-fired thermal power plants.
