Name of the Project
Dasa uranium project hybrid power plant.
Location
Global Atomic Corporation’s Dasa project site, in Niger.
Project Owner/s
Enernet Global will build, own operate and maintain the hydropower plant.
Project Description
Once operating, Global Atomic’s Dasa mine will require 12 MW of consistent power and Enernet will deliver a hybrid power plant, including 16 MW solar, 15 MW battery energy storage, a 16 MW backup diesel generation plant and advanced controls integrated with grid power provided by the Niger State-owned power utility Sonichar.
The system will provide about 35% of power requirements from renewables, making Dasa one of the greenest operations in Africa, abating 27 000 t/y of carbon dioxide.
