The challenge for Benin''s government is to harness the sun to supply electricity to the population. It aims to achieve solar energy capacity of up to 100 MW.
Axian Energy and Sika Capital have started work on four solar power plants, which will be the country''s first utility-scale PV IPPs. Progress is also being made on the third phase of a state-owned solar PV play.
Together, the FORSUN, TTC and DEFISOL plants will strengthen Benin''s energy capacity, enough to supply electricity to thousands of homes, the Benin government said in a statement.
