AMEA Power Lights Up South Africa with 120MW Solar Project Win
In a significant stride towards green energy, AMEA Power has inked a transformative 20-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for the 120MW Doornhoek Solar Photovoltaic Project in South Africa. This remarkable achievement stems from a dynamic consortium led by AMEA Power and local partners, securing the project under Bid Window 6 of South Africa’s renowned Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme (REIPPPP). The PPA, sealed with South African utility giant Eskom, marks a pivotal moment in South Africa’s energy landscape. The project’s strategic location near Klerksdorp in the North West province underscores its regional impact and contribution to sustainable energy goals.
With AMEA Power as the majority shareholder in this $120 million venture, the collaboration extends to Ziyanda Energy and Dzimuzwo Consulting, both wholly owned by African women, embodying a commitment to diversity and empowerment. Financial backing from Standard Bank South Africa and equity funding from the Industrial Development Corporation further solidify the project’s robust foundation. The ceremonial signing, graced by South Africa’s Minister of Mineral Resources and Energy Gwede Mantashe, Eskom’s Segomoco Scheppers, and AMEA Power’s chairman Hussain Al Nowais, symbolizes a collective commitment to green progress.
AMEA Power’s regional presence, anchored by its Johannesburg office, underscores its dedication to driving positive environmental and socio-economic change across southern Africa. Hussain Al Nowais encapsulates the project’s significance, stating, “The Doornhoek Solar Project exemplifies AMEA Power’s unwavering commitment to sustainable energy solutions, environmental stewardship, and socio-economic empowerment.” As the project paves the way for a greener future, it heralds a new era of sustainable energy innovation and collaboration. Stay tuned as AMEA Power’s vision illuminates South Africa’s path to a brighter, cleaner tomorrow! ☀️🌍 #RenewableEnergy #SustainableFuture #GreenInnovation
