South Africa, Johannesburg: AMEA Power, a Dubai-based company, has signed an agreement with GreenCo Power Services to build an 85 MW solar plant in South Africa.
According to AMEA, the solar plant will be built in the North West Province of South Africa, and the Standard Bank of South Africa will finance the construction. The commissioning and grid connection is planned for early 2025. Upon completion, the plant will generate approximately 220 GWh of clean energy annually.
“As part of AMEA Power’s goal to deliver clean energy across Africa, the company is on track to deliver several large renewable energy projects in South Africa over the coming few years,” stated Hussain Al Nowais, Chairman of AMEA Power. He also noted that AMEA wants to invest in different clean energy solutions and work with local companies to accelerate its regional activities.
As part of its long-term planning to reduce its carbon emissions and provide greater energy stability across its electricity network, South Africa aims to increase the share of renewable energy in its energy mix from 11 % to 41 % by 2030.
