Amea Power reached financial close on its 50 MW Bondoukou solar plant in Côte d’Ivoire, according to a statement. The company secured a EUR 61 mn facility from the Dutch Entrepreneurial Development Bank and German KfW subsidiary DEG, as it aims to kick off operations on the plant by 2027.

The plant is set to power 358k homes and offset 52k tons of CO2 emissions once operational. Amea broke ground on the project — its first in Côte d’Ivoire — last March.

Amea Power has been making lots of headway on projects in Africa. Amea Power and Japan’s Kyuden secured financing last week for a 1 GW solar plant and 600 MWh battery energy storage system in Egypt. Amea also commissioned a 120 MW solar plant in Tunisia’s Kairouan this month, and is currently developing the 50 MW Korhogo solar plant in Côte d’Ivoire.
