Benin Solar Base Station Case

5 FAQs about [Benin Solar Base Station Case]

How will the Beninese solar power station work?

The power station will be built in phases, with the first phase of 25 megawatts capacity followed by the second phase of equal magnitude. The energy from this solar plant will be integrated into the Beninese national electricity grid, during the 25 years of the solar farm's expected lifespan.

Who is developing a solar farm in Benin?

The solar farm is under development by the Government of Benin, with funding from the European Union (EU), the French Development Agency (AFD) and the Beninese Electricity Company (SBEE). The power station will be built in phases, with the first phase of 25 megawatts capacity followed by the second phase of equal magnitude.

Where is the power station located in Benin?

The power station is located in the town of Pobè, in Plateau Department, in southeastern Benin, close to the international border with Nigeria. Pobè is located approximately 34 kilometres (21 mi), by road, north of Sakété, the capital of Plateau Department.

Who built the Beninese solar farm?

The Beninese government selected the French engineering and construction conglomerate Eiffage to design, construct, operate, maintain the solar farm for the first three years of commercial operation, then transfer it to SBEE. Eiffage in turn, tasked two of its subsidiaries, Eiffage Énergie Systèmes and RMT to carry out the task.

Are solar cellular base stations transforming the telecommunication industry?

Improved Quality of Service and cost reduction are important issues affecting the telecommunication industry. Companies such as Airtel, Glo etc believe that the solar powered cellular base stations are capable of transforming the Nigerian communication industry due to their low cost, reliability, and environmental friendliness.
