Might 17 (Renewables Now) – Battery maker Saft, a subsidiary of French multinational TotalEnergies SE (EPA:TTE), has secured a contract to ship a 10-MW power storage resolution for the Boundiali photo voltaic PV mission in Cote d’Ivoire.
Saft stated that it has been awarded the contract by Eiffage Energie Systemes, the energy-focused enterprise unit of French civil engineering group Eiffage SA (EPA:FGR). Eiffage Energie Systemes is the primary contractor for the 37.5-MWp Boundiali, which Saft touts as the primary large-scale photo voltaic mission within the West African nation.
