The Monkey Bay floating solar power plant is not the only one to be built on the African continent. Recently, similar projects have been launched, particularly in Ivory Coast. If the capacity of the first floating solar power plant
A floating solar power plant goes into operation in Tunisia. The park is equipped with inverters and solar panels installed on the Tunis Lake, located between the Tunisian capital and the Gulf of Tunis. The plant is the result of a project developed since 2020 by the Qair Group, an independent power producer (IPP) based in Paris, France.
A floating solar power plant''s material and installation costs are significantly higher than a traditional one. In addition, maintenance and repair costs can also be higher due to the complexity of working on a floating platform. To meet this challenge, Novergy is constantly working to improve the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of its

"Irradiance is very high" in the region, plant engineer Franck Alain Yayo told AFP, referring to the intensity of the Sun''s energy. The Boundiali plant, which opened in June 2023, aims to improve the electricity supply to more than 430,000 households, the energy ministry said. Although Ivory Coast has about 10 smaller solar power plants serving
The selected IPPs will build solar photovoltaic power plants capable of delivering 60 MW to the Ivory Coast''s national grid. These projects are in line with Ivory Coast''s target to generate 42% of its electricity from renewable energy by 2030. The Scaling Solar program is an IFC initiative to leverage public-private partnerships (PPPs) for

The state-owned electric utility of Ivory Coast, Côte d’Ivoire Energies (CI-Energies) has launched a call for tenders for the construction of the Kossou floating solar power plant and its associated transmission network. The floating solar power plant will be developed in the Kossou dam lake on the Bandama River.
The Egyptian company Elsewedy Electric is also among the potential developers of the Laboa and Touba solar plants. The same goes for Infinity Power Holding and Nareva Holding, the subsidiary of the Moroccan group Al Mada. The selected IPPs will build solar power plants capable of delivering 60 MWp to the national grid in Ivory Coast.
The 20 MW will be located on a water reservoir at the Kossou dam, in the center of Ivory Coast. From pv magazine France Ivory Coast's state-owned energy company Côte d'Ivoire Energies (CI-Energies) has launched a tender for the construction of a floating solar power plant and the associated transmission network.
According to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), the Ivory Coast had only 13 MW of installed solar power at the end of 2020. Currently, the sub-Saharan country relies heavily on fossil fuels, notably oil and natural gas.
The floating solar power plant will be developed in the Kossou dam lake on the Bandama River. The Kossou dam, which has been in operation since 1972, has a 105 MW hydroelectric power plant. The renewable energy project to be built in the lake of the reservoir is planned to have a capacity of 20 MWp.
