Cameroon – On April 20th, Cameroon’s Minister of Water and Energy, Basile Atangana Kouana, and the director of Nachtigal Hydro Power Company (NHPC), Olivier Flambard, signed the Power Generation Licensing Agreement for the upstream Nachtigal hydroelectric project.
This agreement marks a big milestone in the progress of the Nachtigal project, a hydroelectric power plant that will be built on the Sanaga River at the upstream Nachtigal site. This development, put in place by NHPC, foresees the construction of a dam and a power station with a total capacity of 420 MW by 2020.
It will provide the country with an additional source of stable electricity and will contribute positively to the regional and national economy.
