Côte d''Ivoire: PPP solar energy project gets the
Côte d''Ivoire has approved the construction of a $60 million solar power plant in Katiola, aiming to produce 85,934 megawatt-hours
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.
The clean electricity generated in this way can supply 35,000 households, benefiting around 150,000 people. The new plant will save 35,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions every year - an important contribution to climate protection. The solar power plant is regarded as a model project for the expansion of solar energy in Côte d'Ivoire.
In Boundiali in the north of Côte d'Ivoire, the country's first solar power plant has now been inaugurated by Ivorian Prime Minister Beugré Mambé and German Parliamentary State Secretary Bärbel Kofler. The power plant has already been providing up to 37 megawatts of power since June 2023.
