Plans are for Rio Tinto operations in Madagascar to reach carbon neutrality by 2023.
The first unit, an 8 MW solar energy facility, will be operational in 2022, while a 12 MW wind power facility will be completed in 2023. The project also includes an 8.25 MW lithium-ion battery energy storage system.
“By establishing a commercial power plant that blends solar PV, battery energy storage, and wind power, the QMM project greatly improves the island of Madagascar standing as a regional renewable energy leader,” said For Matt Tilleard, Managing Partner of CBE.
