Mali/Senegal: APR contract

APR Energy on 1 July announced it had signed a contract to supply 40MW to Mali from a power plant it will establish in Senegal. The agreement is the first cross-border deal the US company has signed but follows two contracts signed by Aggreko that use the Southern African Power Pool network to facilitate cross-border power transmission. In this case, the APR power plant will feed into the Senegal River Basin Development Authority (OMVS) grid connecting Mali, Mauritania and Senegal.
