ISOFOTON will be developing a rural electrification project in the Republic of Senegal that will entail an investment of Euro 16 million, with the financing of the European Union. The Senegalese Rural Electrification Agency (ASER) has awarded the electrification project for the regions of Kaolak and Fatick (800KW) and Kolda (1.5MW) to the global company.

The Senegal project, which is to begin next year, entails an investment of Euro 16 Million backed by co-financing from the European Union. The initiative seeks to expand the existing energy supply in the area through the expansion of the conventional grid and decentralized systems based on solar photovoltaic systems and diesel gensets for domestic systems and schools, health centers, community centers as well as production centers in the area. The objective will be the creation of 10,000 800KW systems in the regions of Kaolak and Fatick and 20,000 1.5MW systems in the Kolda region over a period of three years.

ISOFOTON's President Ángel Luis Serrano remarked: "This is a great opportunity to demonstrate our experience as pioneers in rural electrification solutions, while maintaining our photovoltaic business internationalization objectives". "ISOFOTON has projects in 60 countries, which allows us to gain broad knowledge of international markets and experience in project management involving local authorities and public administrations".

Global Expansion

ISOFOTON plans to increase its international presence and production capacity up to 1,500MW over the next 2 years. In November 2012 the company will inaugurate a new module production facility in Ohio (USA) with a 100MW capacity, in addition to building two new plants, one in Latin America and one in Asia.
