 Dubai-based group develops 200 MW thermal power plant in Burkina Faso


Dubai-based industrial group Mark Cables has developed a 200 MW thermal power plant project in Burkina Faso, it said on Monday, Reuters reported.


The company, which operates primarily across Africa, said in a statement it had completed the estimated 180 million euro ($213 million) project in just six months.

"By providing 200 MW of additional capacity, Mark Cables offers a concrete solution to the national electricity deficit," the statement said, adding that it would support the government's efforts to stabilise the grid and reduce dependence on energy imports.
