Description: The Scaling Solar program aims to enable the rapid roll-out of competitively priced, utility-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) power in Sub-Saharan Africa through a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) transaction based on a coordinated, packaged, and largely standardized joint World Bank Group (WBG) solution (involving the World Bank, IFC, and MIGA). As a part of this WBG initiative, the Government of Niger (GoN) has requested the assistance of IFC to act as lead advisor for the development of 30-50 MWac of grid-connected solar PV installations on an IPP basis.
