The Maun Concentrated Solar Power Station [a], is a planned 100 MW (130,000 hp) concentrated solar power station in Botswana. The solar power complex would be owned and operated by an independent power producer, whose identity will be revealed when the ongoing open bidding is concluded. Bids were received until June 2022. The power off-taker is Botswana Power Corporation (BPC), who will purchase the power for integration into the national grid, under a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA). This power station is being simultaneously developed, together with the 100 MW Letlhakane Concentrated Solar Power Station.[1][2]
