The Republic of Mali has awarded project management consultancy (PMC) contract to NTPC for development of 500 MW solar park.
The Republic has been taking various initiatives towards energy security of the country, especially to increase access to electricity to its citizens, with a focus on solar power and applications. The development of solar projects in Mali will make a considerable impact in socio-economic growth of Mali.
NTPC with 62,110 MW installed capacity has vast experience in setting up solar projects and handling various solar programmes like the National Solar Mission in India.
Earlier the Republic of Togo engaged NTPC for similar PMC support for development of 285 MW solar park in Togo. NTPC plans to anchor 10,000 MW solar parks in ISA member countries in the next two years.
