Africa-Press – Mauritius. French clean energy solutions provider GreenYellow announced on Tuesday it has closed an MUR-350-million (USD 7.9m/EUR 7.2m) financing deal with the Mauritius Commercial Bank Ltd for a new photovoltaic (PV) project in the island nation.
The PV power plant will be located in Arsenal, around 10 km (6.2 miles) north of the capital Port Louis. GreenYellow said it plans to commission the solar farm this year.
