Grupo Mexico to invest in 168-MW wind farm in Nuevo Leon
Dec 06, 2019 11:17 CESTSeptember 21 (SeeNews) - The US government’s Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) will provide USD 250 million (EUR 224m) in financing for the 158-MW Taiba Ndiaye wind project in Senegal.
Irish company Mainstream Renewable Power, which is involved in the project through its clean energy joint venture (JV) with private equity firm Actis, said that the development finance institution has also committed to provide USD 70 million in reinsurance for the said project.
It was announced in June that Lekela Power, the 60/40 Actis-Mainstream JV, has acquired the rights to co-develop and invest in the 158-MW wind project in Senegal. At the time it said it expected to reach financial close later this year.
Today, on the sidelines of the US–African Business Forum in New York, OPIC and Lekela signed a commitment for the development, construction and operation of the wind park. The project is seen to boost Senegal’s available power capacity by 24%.
