Electricity trader Lyra Energy reports that it has entered into power purchase agreements with three private offtakers that will buy a large portion of the electricity to be produced from its 255 MW Thakadu solar PV project. The Thakadu project is the first project to be implemented in South Africa by Lyra, which is a partnership between independent power producer Scatec, which owns 50% of the trading platform, as well as Standard Bank and Stanlib.
