Namibia: InnoSun signs PPAs for wind and solar plants

InnoSun has signed power purchase agreements (PPAs) with national utility NamPower for the 4.5MW Omaruru solar photovoltaic (PV) project and the 6MW Lüderitz wind farm. InnoSun is the Namibia-based subsidiary of French developer InnoVent, whose chief executive and founder Grégoire Verhaeghe told African Energy that Omaruru, which will use single-axis tracker panels, is expected to begin operating in August 2016, followed a month or two later by Lüderitz. InnoSun will carry out the engineering, procurement and construction work using in-house expertise built up developing wind and solar power projects in France.
