Description
Description | The project entails the development and operation of a solar PV plant in Oiapoque, state of Amapa with a capacity of 4 MW. This facility will be a part of the Oiapoque hydro-thermal power plant. The construction of the 4 MW solar unit adds to the initial project which combines a thermal unit (12 MW commissioned in December 2015) and a hydro power plant (7.5 MW), the completion of which is expected in 2021. Voltalia had won in 2014 the tender organized for the isolated site of Oiapoque, a city of 24 000 inhabitants not connected to the national electricity grid. An additional transmission line will also be built and owned by Voltalia. The company was granted a 15-year electricity purchase contract under the same terms as the hydro and thermal plants (fixed tariff). This is a greenfield project launched on a BOO basis. The contract was awarded following a competitive bidding in 2014. Project was completed and commissioned in the beginning of December 2017. Investment amount and financial structure were not disclosed. http://www.martifersolar.com/downloads/170123-Voltalia-Oiapoque-solaire-vdef-EN.PDF |
