Ivory Coast launches tenders for 200 MW/66 MWh of solar-plus
Ivory Coast has opened tenders for 200 MW/66 MWh of solar-plus-storage, seeking proposals for two 100 MW solar parks each connected to 33 MWh of storage.
The project will help Côte d'Ivoire reach its goal of increasing the country's share of renewable energy to 42 percent by 2030 from only about 1 percent currently. By introducing more Solar PV capacity, Côte d'Ivoire is diversifying its energy mix while developing a more resilient energy sector.
Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, August 7th, 2025 – IFC and the Government of Côte d'Ivoire today announced Infinity Power Holding as the winning bidder to design, finance, build, and operate two grid-connected solar PV plants in Côte d'Ivoire.
Infinity Power was awarded the project with a bid to supply 80 megawatts of solar power at EUR 0.03310 per kWh for a stie in Laboa and EUR 0.03213 per kWh for a site in Touba, setting a new record for the lowest solar independent power producer tariffs in West and Central Africa.
Additionally, Coulibaly mentioned plans to build seven more plants. These solar plants are 50 MWp in Tengréla, 50 MWp in Kong, 25 MWp in Sérébou, 60 MWp in Touba and Loboa, 50 MWp in Odienné, 50 MWp in Mankono, and 25 MWp in Soubré.
