Description

The Nachtigal-amont project is a greenfield 420 MW run-of-river hydropower project located on the Sanaga river near Yaoundé, Cameroon (the "Project”, "Nachtigal") and developed as an Independent Power Producer ("IPP"). As of April 2017, the plant is estimated to achieve full commercial operations by 2022. This would make it the first IPP to be built on the Sanaga river benefiting from the upstream Lom Pangar regulating dam. The Project benefits from the full support of the Republic of Cameroon who just signed and granted the 35-year concession to the project company. The Project is the number one priority identified under the National Electricity Least Cost Development Plan ("NEDP") prepared in 2014 by the Ministry of Energy with the support of the World Bank.
