Masdar, the Abu Dhabi future energy company, will help the Public Utilities Corporation (PUC) in building a 5MW solar photovoltaic power plant with battery storage in the Seychelles.

The project is being financed by an $8.4 million loan from Abu Dhabi Fund for Development (ADFD), as well as funds from PUC's own equity.

The 5MW Ile de Romainville Solar Park will be located on the same site as the existing ADFD-financed AED103 million Port Victoria Wind Farm. The new project will also include an energy storage system with a capacity of 5MW and 3.3 megawatt-hours.
