The scheme comprises a 13 MW solar power plant - the country's first -ever ground-mounted facility - a 5 MWh storage system, 20 20 MW diesel generators, a 13 kV substation and two 3km , 20 kV power lines. If implemented, the project would be the country’s first MW-sized ground-mounted PV plant, with Niger only recently resorting to solar as an energy source.
