    French power giant Engie and investment firm Meridiamond have jointly secured two solar projects totaling 60MW(AC) in Senegal, setting a new record
    for low prices.

    Senegal's Electricity Sector Regulatory Commission (CRSE) has announced the results of
    a tender under the World Bank-backed Scaling Solar program.
    CRSE has received 14 bids from 8 out of 13 qualified bidders
    .

    The award-winning solar farm in Kahone will be charged a tariff of ¢3.
    80/kWh, while the other plant in Touba will have a tariff of ¢3.
    98/kWh
    .

    A report published by the Scaling solar website said the result was a "major breakthrough" that reduced prices to 60 percent from Senegal's
    previous lowest tariffs.

    "This demonstrates Scaling Solar's innovative approach to bringing investors and governments together in a transparent, streamlined and competitive way to successfully close a deal that provides clean and affordable energy
    to Africa," the statement said.

    In Zambia's first Scaling Solar tender, the price of a 47.
    5MW(AC) facility has reached a low-tariff level of $6.
    015/kWh
    .

    Last year, Engie and Meridiamond also launched a 30MW project
    in Senegal.
    Separately, state-run utility Ethiopian Electric Power Company (EEP) recently published a list
    of qualified bidders for the country's 250MW(AC) calibrated solar tender.
    The World Bank also plans to include energy storage as part of
    its "Scaling Solar" program.
