President Faure Essozimna Gnassingbé of Togo
inaugurated a 50MWp Solar Power Plant at Blitta Village. The Sheikh Mohamed Bin
Zayed Solar Power Plant Project is being developed by AMEA Power, Dubai and
designed, installed, commissioned, and executed by Jakson Group. The plant
would supply power to nearly 600,000 households as well as 700 small and medium
enterprises (SMEs) in the region. The plant is expected to supply 90,255 GWh of
electricity to the grid annually. The Foundation Stone for the solar plant was
laid by President Gnassingbé in February 2020.
On the successful execution of the project, Mr. Sameer Gupta, Chairman & Managing Director, Jakson Group said, "We are proud to partner with AMEA Power, Dubai to execute the Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Solar Power Plant, at Togo, first of its kind utility scale Solar Power plant in West Africa.
