The installation supports solar integration while avoiding 26,600 tons of CO2 in emissions annually. This is the equivalent of the annual emissions of more than 18,000 cars.
The project represents a total investment of €40 million (~$46m). It was financed in part by its shareholders – Metier Sustainable Capital International Fund II and Dutch development bank FMO. It was partly funded through debt financing from FMO and the Emerging Africa & Asia Infrastructure Fund (EAAIF) of the Private Infrastructure Development Group (PIDG).
