Syama solar hybrid power plant, Mali
Name of the Project
Syama solar hybrid power plant.
Location
The project will be located at the Syama mine, in Mali.
Client
Resolute Mining.
The new plant will be constructed under an independent power producer (IPP) model whereby Ignite Energy Projects, under the terms of an exclusive power purchase agreement, will be responsible for the design, construction, ownership, funding and operation of the new Solar hybrid power facility on an exclusive basis and will supply power to Resolute on a guaranteed basis subject to a maximum tariff over a term of between 12 and 20 years.
Project Description
The project, when constructed, is tipped to be the world’s largest off-grid, fully integrated hybrid power plant for a standalone mining operation.
The project involves the development of a 40 MW independent solar hybrid power plant, which will replace the existing historic 28 MW diesel-fired power station at Syama. The power plant will combine solar, battery, and heavy fuel oil technologies, and a battery-based energy system to produce electricity.
Potential Job Creation
Not stated.
Value
The new plant will be funded under an IPP model.
Duration
The project is expected to be fully operational by the end of 2020.
