Savannah Tarka Wind Power Station

Niger

The Savannah Tarka Wind Power Station (Parc Eolien de la Tarka), also Tarka Wind Power Station, is a planned 250 megawatts wind power energy project, in Niger. The power station is owned and under development by Savannah Parc Eolien de la Tarka (SPET), a subsidiary of independent power producer (IPP), Savannah Energy, with headquarters in the United Kingdom. The wind farm is the first large-scale, grid-ready wind power station in the country and one of the largest in sub-Saharan Africa. Under a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA), the energy generated here will be sold to Société nigérienne d’électricité (NIGELEC), for integration into the Nigerien grid and possibly for sale to the country's neighbors.
