Dubai’s AMEA Power wins solar contract in South Africa
Both the UAE and Saudi Arabia are seeking better ties with sub-Saharan African states, including in regards to energy.
The Dubai-based energy company AMEA Power announced a new solar project in South Africa Wednesday.
AMEA Power won the bid to develop a $120 million, 120-megawatt solar project in the country. The project will sell electricity to South Africa’s state utility company Doornhoek PV Project for 20 years. AMEA Power is the majority stakeholder, and a consortium formed by the South African companies Ziyanda Energy and Dzimuzwo owns the rest.
