Senegal Project To Be Carried Out By Isofoton
Isofoton will be developing an ambitious rural electrification project in the Republic of Senegal that will entail an investment of Euro 16 million, with the financing of the European Union. The Senegalese Rural Electrification Agency (ASER) has awarded the electrification project for the regions of Kaolak and Fatick (800 KW) and Kolda (1.5 MW) to the global company. Isofoton is a leader in the development of rural electrification solutions and currently has projects in 60 countries.
The Senegal project, which is to begin next year, entails an investment of Euro 16 Million backed by co-financing from the European Union. The initiative seeks to expand the existing energy supply in the area through the expansion of the conventional grid and decentralized systems based on solar photovoltaic systems and diesel gensets for domestic systems and schools, health centers, community centers as well as production centers in the area. The objective will be the creation of 10,000 800 KW systems in the regions of Kaolak and Fatick and 20,000 1.5 MW systems in the Kolda region over a period of three years.
Isofoton's President àngel Luis Serrano remarked: "This is a great opportunity to demonstrate our experience as pioneers in rural electrification solutions, while maintaining our photovoltaic business internationalization objectives". "Isofoton has projects in 60 countries, which allows us to gain broad knowledge of international markets and experience in project management involving local authorities and public administrations".
