Doornhoek 120 MW PV Plant

completed

AMEA Power has commissioned a 120 MW photovoltaic (PV) plant near Klerksdorp in the North West Province of South Africa. The plant is expected to generate approximately 325 GWh annually, supplying power to an estimated 97,000 households and offsetting more than 330,000 tonnes of carbon emissions each year. The project received debt support from Standard Bank South Africa and equity support from the Industrial Development Corporation. The partners Ziyanda Energy and Dzimuzwo Energy, wholly owned by African women, are involved in the project. At peak construction, the project employed around 1,050 people in the local area.
