Gambia’s Ministry of Petroleum and Energy (MoPE) and state-owned utility Nawec have collectively launched a young for the development of a 50 MW PV plant in Soma, south of the Gambia River.
The PV facility is a part of a 150 MW photo voltaic challenge that has been below growth since 2019 and is deliberate to be linked to an unspecified battery storage capability.
Through the procurement train, MoPE and NAWEC intend to pick out an unbiased energy producer (IPP) below the public-private partnerships (PPP) method. “The IPP is answerable for the financing, building and operation of the solar energy park within the first section of fifty MW with a battery vitality storage system for 25 years,” the tender doc reads.
The challenge is predicted to promote electrical energy to Nawec and is prone to be constructed on a 225-hectare web site close to the 225/30 kV substation in Soma. “According to preliminary estimates, the 150 MW Gambia Solar Park shall be mixed with between 100 and 150 MWh of battery capability,” the Gambian authorities mentioned in 2020.
Interested builders have till November 14 to submit their proposals.
According to the International Renewable Energy Agency, the nation may have an put in PV capability of solely 2 MW by the tip of 2023. In March, nevertheless, it commissioned a 23 MW photo voltaic plant in Jambur, close to the western coast of the nation, which suggests cumulative photo voltaic. The electrical energy has reached a minimum of 25 MW.
