Mali to build 200 MW of solar with Russian support
The Malian government announced that it will build a 200 MW solar power plant on 314 hectares of land in the southwest of the country with the support of Russia. The solar power plant will be built by the renewable energy department of the Russian Atomic Energy Corporation. The group will spend about 120 billion West African francs (198.6 million U.S. dollars) to build the power plant, and the construction period is expected to be one year.
According to Voice of America, in October 2023, Mali and Russia agreed to develop civilian nuclear power. Construction of two other 200 MW solar power plants near Bamako will begin on May 28 and June 1.
