Amea Power expands into South Africa: UAE’s Amea Power will build a USD 120 mn, 120 MW Doornhoek solar energy plant in South Africa, the company announced in a statement yesterday. This is the Emirati company’s first project in the country.

The details: The solar plant will generate over 325 GWh of clean energy, offsetting 290k tons of CO2 emissions annually. Energy produced from the plant will be sold to state-owned public utility company Eskom under a 20-year power purchase agreement. Construction is set to begin in mid-2023, with Amea Power retaining a majority stake in the plant.

Amea has bigger plans for South Africa: The energy giant has secured sites for building more renewable energy projects with a total capacity of 1 GW, the statement adds. Currently, the company has a clean energy pipeline of more than 6 GW in 16 countries.
