Seychelles: Quadran to develop floating solar scheme

The Seychelles Energy Commission issued a notice of intended award to France’s Quadran International on 11 December for a 4MW floating solar PV project. Quadran will establish a local company in Seychelles to develop the project, to be located on the Le Rocher lagoon next to the Providence industrial district on Mahé Island. According to the African Legal Support Facility, which is acting as transaction and tender adviser, Seychelles has excellent solar potential but limited land availability for ground-mounted schemes.
