It will be operated under a 35-year concession.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Following this transaction, the shareholding of NHPC is comprised of EDF (40%), IFC (20%), the Republic of Cameroon (15%), Africa50 (15%) and STOA (10%).<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Considered as a national priority, Nachtigal is part of Cameroon\u2019s development plan to enhance both the reliability of the energy sector and access to power. The plant will produce an average of close to 3,000 GWh per annum, covering 30% of the country\u2019s energy needs. The power produced will be sold to the national utility company at a competitive price, thereby benefitting the Cameroonian consumers and boosting the economic and industrial development of the country.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The project will have a substantial development impact, creating up to 1,500 direct jobs during construction (65% locally sourced), and many permanent jobs upon completion in 2023.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The project\u2019s total cost is projected to be \u20ac1.2 billion. Shareholders\u2019 equity will fund 24% of the project while the rest will be funded through debt under a project finance structure. The lender group coordinated by IFC includes 11 development finance institutions and 4 local commercial banks coordinated by Attijariwafa Bank.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Through its involvement in such projects, Africa50 acts as an additional bridge between the government and private sponsors, in order to reach financial close soon.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Louis Paul Motaze, Cameroon\u2019s Minister of Finance<\/strong>\u00a0said that the project was one of the foremost priorities of the government. He commended all partners for their collective efforts to reach this crucial milestone. He reiterated his country\u2019s commitment to support the implementation of the project in collaboration with Africa50 and all other partners.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Alain Ebobisse, CEO of Africa50<\/strong>, said: \u201cOur investment in Nachtigal proves that it is possible to leverage private sector financing to bridge our continent\u2019s massive infrastructure gap and allow scarce public resources to be allocated to other priority sectors. This investment in sustainable energy will reduce electricity costs and contribute to the competitiveness of Cameroon\u2019s economy\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Koffi Klousseh, Director of Project Development at Africa50<\/strong>, added that, \u201cNachtigal will be the largest hydropower plant in Africa that is primarily funded with private capital. It will have a strong demonstration effect under the government\u2019s sector reform process, paving the way for similar projects in the future.\u00a0It is also a good example of how Africa50 can leverage its relationship with its shareholders and its financial resources to help speed up projects\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The final agreements for the construction of Nachtigal hydroelectric dam were signed on 8 November 2018 in Paris by EDF, IFC, a member of the World Bank and the Government of Cameroon.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Construction should start in the beginning of 2019 and it is expected to be commissioned by 2023.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>About Africa50 &#8211;\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.africa50.com\/\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=http:\/\/www.africa50.com&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1544045653271000&amp;usg=AFQjCNE_-D3L2b2ZPfe7vja9KrWO35S4Qw\">www.africa50.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Africa50 is an infrastructure investment platform that contributes to Africa&#8217;s growth by developing and investing in bankable projects, catalyzing public sector capital, and mobilizing private sector funding, with differentiated financial returns and impact.<\/p>\n<div class=\"pdfprnt-buttons pdfprnt-buttons-post pdfprnt-top-bottom-left\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa50, the pan-African infrastructure investment platform, has acquired 15% of the equity stake in the Nachtigal Hydro Power Company (NHPC) which runs the Nachtigal hydropower project in Cameroon.
