Ashwin West, investment director, African Infrastructure Investment Managers, tells us what it took to get Mali’s first independent power project to cross the finish line.

Wholesale energy retailer Flow Power will purchase 50MW of Sapphire’s 270MW capacity per year on a ‘10- to 12-year’ power-purchase agreement.

The airport will realise ‘significant’ cost savings from the deal, taking 95,000 MWh annually from Crudine Ridge Wind Farm, approximately 25% of the facility’s output.

The project in Victoria has a long-term PPA agreement in place with Origin Energy and is expected to appeal to mid-market renewables investors.
