Akuo Boosts Mayotte's Renewable Energy Push

Akuo Energy has opened a 1.2-MW solar park with an integrated energy storage facility in Mayotte, a French archipelago in the Indian Ocean. The Hamaha project, built at the site of a former landfill, will generate enough electricity for almost 1,700 people and offset 1,100 tonnes of carbon dioxide annually. The 3.5MWh battery energy storage system will provide three hours of discharge capacity to the grid during peak demand periods. The project was awarded in a French government tender for solar capacity in non-interconnected zones. Akuo has 1.7 GW of renewables capacity in operation or under construction, plus 20 GW of projects in the pipeline.
