Senegal: Lekela Power acquires Taiba Ndiaye Wind

Actis and Mainstream Renewable Power joint venture Lekela Power has taken over the 158MW Taiba Ndiaye Wind Project. Lekela said in a 22 June statement that it had acquired codevelopment rights and sole rights to invest in the project, which was being developed by American Capital Energy & Infrastructure, and French wind and solar power developer Sarreole with support from the US Power Africa initiative. A power purchase agreement for the wind farm was signed with Société Nationale d’Electricité du Sénégal in December 2013.
