Côte d’Ivoire: Nova Power plans 25MW solar scheme

A cabinet meeting on 24 May approved a contract signed with Morocco’s Nova Power for a 25MW solar scheme in the northern city of Korhogo. The contract was signed in Marrakech in November during the COP22 climate change talks. The CFA23.6bn ($40m) plant will be built by Nova Power subsidiary Korhogo Solaire, and is expected to be operational in 2018, government spokesman Bruno Koné told reporters after the cabinet meeting.
