AMEA Power’s 120 MW solar plant achieves commercial operation

Dubai-based renewable-energy company AMEA Power has successfully commissioned its 120 MW Doornhoek solar PV plant in South Africa – the first project under Bid Window 6 of the Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Procurement Programme to reach commercial operation. The $120-million Doornhoek project, near Klerksdorp, in the North West province, will generate about 325 GWh/y of clean electricity, which will offset more than 330 000 t/y of CO₂ emissions.
