Platinum Power is developing a 400MW hydroelectric power plant and related infrastructure in Makay in Cameroon under a public private partnership (PPP) agreement with the country's government.
Platinum Power, a Morocco based renewable energy developer owned by US fund Brookstone Partners, will invest $854 million in the project.
The plant will increase Cameroon's installed electrical capacity by 30%.
Construction of the complex will begin in 2017 and is scheduled to be complete in 2020.
