A subsidiary of Rosatom has started building West Africa's largest solar power plant in Mali.
Built in Sanankoroba near the country's capital Bamako, the 200-megawatt solar power plant will cover 314 hectares, cost USD 217 million and take one year to be completed. After 10 years, the plant will be Mali's property with no debt traps or strings attached.
Only half of Mali's population has electricity, and this plant will account for 10% of their entire production.
