The Syama Hybrid Power Station (French: Centrale électrique hybride de Syama) is a planned 70 megawatts hybrid power plant in Mali. The power station is being developed by Aggreko, a company that is based in Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom, which supplies temporary power generation equipment. The off-taker is Syama Gold Mine, owned by Resolute Mining, that is based in Perth, Western Australia. The station has thermal, battery storage and solar energy components. Aggreko signed a 16-year agreement with the owners of the gold mine to design, build, operate and maintain this hybrid power station. Under the same agreement, Syra Gold Mine will purchase the electricity generated by the new hybrid plant, as specified in the power purchase agreement.[1][2]
