Savannah’s up to 250 MW Parc Eolien de la Tarka project, located in the Tahoua Region of southern Niger, is expected to be the country’s first wind farm and the largest in West Africa. With 35 to 40 wind turbines and a total power generation capacity of up to 250 MW, it is expected to produce up to 800 GWh of electricity per year, representing approximately 20% of Niger’s national annual electricity demand by 2029.¹ The construction phase is expected to create over 500 jobs, and it has the potential to reduce the cost of electricity for Nigeriens and avoid an estimated 450,000 tonnes of CO_² emissions annually.​​​​​²

Two leading international development finance institutions (the IFC, which is a member of the World Bank Group, and the DFC, which is America’s development finance institution) are funding approximately two-thirds of the project’s pre-construction development costs.

Savannah’s up to 95 MW hybrid hydropower and solar Bini a Warak project, located in the northern Adamawa Region of Cameroon, involves the construction of a dam on the Bini River, together with a reservoir and associated waterways, powerhouses, substations and a transmission line connecting the project to Cameroon’s northern electricity grid. The project includes 40 MW of photovoltaic solar, with hydropower production adapting to photovoltaic solar production levels, enabling a combined stable level of energy generation throughout the day. The project is expected to generate clean, stable, and affordable power for Cameroon’s northern region, increasing the region’s generation capacity by over 50%. This, in turn, is expected to support existing local electricity demand and enable energy-intensive industrial projects that will drive economic development. The Cameroon-Chad Interconnection Project, financed by the World Bank and scheduled for completion by 2027, will allow for the transmission of electricity between north and south.

First power 2030

The project is intended to be developed on an independent power project basis with financial close expected in Q3 2028, first power from the solar unit targeted in 2030 and the hydropower unit commissioned approximately four years after project sanction. Ahead of financial close, we currently plan to reduce our ownership interest in the Bini a Warak project by approximately 50% to introduce additional equity partners.
