Release wins Utility Scale Solar Project of the Year

Release by Scatec has been recognised with the Utility Scale Solar Project of the Year at AFSIA (Africa Solar Industry Association) Awards 2024, for the extension of the solar PV and battery storage projects in Cameroon.

In June, Release entered into two new lease agreements with the national electricity company ENEO in Cameroon, expanding its existing solar and battery storage power plants in the country to 64.4 MW of solar and 38.2 MWh of batteries.  

“This project stands as a testament to ENEO’s and Cameroon’s remarkable achievement in providing more affordable and reliable power to their people and businesses in the region. We are proud to support the continued expansion of this initiative, actively working to add more photovoltaic (PV) capacity and batteries to enhance its impact”, says Hans Olav Kvalvaag, Release CEO.

The existing solar PV and BESS projects in Cameroon have already delivered remarkable results, with significant savings in diesel costs while providing reliable, clean energy to North Cameroon.
