Dubai-headquartered developer Amea Power has commissioned its 120 MW Doornhoek solar PV project in South Africa.
Located in the country’s North West province, the project is the first awarded under the sixth bid window of South Africa’s Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (REIPPPP) to reach commercial operations. The sixth round concluded in late 2022 with the award of five solar projects totaling 860 MW.
The $120 million facility was financed through $100 million in debt provided by Standard Bank South Africa, alongside $8 million in equity funding from the Industrial Development Corporation to support the participation of local partners. Amea Power says the project was developed in partnership with local companies Ziyanda Energy and Dzimuzwo Energy.
