Why should Benin invest in a defissol plant?

The DEFISSOL plant will help generate and distribute clean and reliable energy for all the people of Benin. It will supply the country with 35 GWh of electricity a year, covering the consumption needs of around 180 000 people and reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 23 000 tonnes of CO2 a year over a 25-year period.

Does Benin have a green economy?

The PREVER I programme to promote Benin's green economy (‘Promouvoir l'Économie Verte au Bénin') was launched in 2017. It supports the generation and distribution of renewable electricity by reducing the costs of the national network.

How much does a Beninese power plant cost?

Construction of the plant, at a total cost of €60.85 million, is being financed under a partnership between the EU, the French development agency AFD (Agence Française de Développement), and the Beninese electricity company SBEE (Société Béninoise d'Énergie Électrique). To date, the EU's contribution comes to €10.35 million.

Who are the EU and Benin partners?

The EU and Benin are long-standing partners. Under the 11th European Development Fund (2014-2020), the EU has allocated a total of €372 million to Benin.
