Africa-Press – Botswana. <\/strong><\/span>Botala Energy Ltd. and AAAS Energy BV, a solar developer focused on Sub-Saharan Africa, have agreed to evaluate the feasibility of installing up to 250 MW of solar capacity at an energy hub being developed in Botswana.<\/b><\/p>\n

The proposed project will be situated at Botala\u2019s Leupane Energy Hub and Industrial Park near Palapye, with potential expansion to accommodate 500 MW of solar energy and 200 MW of gas-fired power generation.<\/p>\n

The partners will collaborate to finalize a bankable feasibility study (BFS) by the end of 2024, determining project costs, ownership structures, and funding arrangements for a final investment decision (FID).<\/p>\n

The BFS will also assess potential off-takers in Southern Africa and explore options for developing the project as a merchant power station. The study\u2019s findings will influence future solar capacity development under similar terms.<\/p>\n
