Djibouti: SkyPower plans 200MW of solar

Solar developer SkyPower has announced the signing of a landmark agreement with Djibouti for the development of 200MW of solar projects to be built in four phases over the next four years. SkyPower said the project would represent an estimated investment of $440m, including corporate social responsibility investments of $11m towards education, training, research and development in Djibouti. “SkyPower’s commitment will reduce Djibouti’s dependence on energy imports and significantly increase local power generation capacity,” said executive vice-president Charles Cohen.
