A commissioning ceremony was held in June for the plant at Naoua Falls, on the Sassandra River in the south-western Nawa region. State utility CI-Energies will own and operate the plant, which was built by Sinohydro with financing from the Export-Import Bank of China. The first two turbines have capacity of 90MW, while the third is 95MW.
