On 22 October Denham Capital’s GreenWish Partners announced that its 20MW Senergy II solar PV project has begun operating in Bokhol, near the border with Mauritania. The plant is expected to produce 34GWh/yr from 77,000 polycrystalline solar panels, supplying power to national utility Société Nationale d’Electricité du Sénégal (Senelec). GreenWish said electricity from Senergy II will be sold at a price 40% lower than the average cost of generation in Senegal and that the project would not require subsidies. The plant will be connected to an existing transformer located only 75 metres from the site.
