Côte d’Ivoire's Ministry of Petroleum, Energy and Renewable Energies (MPEER) has launched a tender for the construction of two solar plants with a combined capacity of 60 MW in Laboa and Touba, in the northeastern part of the country.
Independent power producers will develop the facilities under the World Bank’s Scaling Solar program. Interested developers will have until Sept. 6 to prequalify for the procurement exercise.
The Côte d’Ivoire government and the World Bank's International Finance Corp. arm signed an agreement for the two projects in November 2018.
