De Gaulle Fleurance Advises Lenders on €28M Financing for Ayémé — Gabon's First Large-Scale 30 MW Solar Plant

"De Gaulle Fleurance advised AFRIGREEN Debt Impact Fund and BGFIBank on a €28 million financing for the Ayémé project, Gabon’s first large‑scale solar power plant. The loan to SOLEN SA (part of the Equitane group) – structured in CFA francs and euros – will fund Phase I (30 MW PV and 8 MWh battery storage) of the Plaine Ayémé site about 30 km from Libreville. SOLEN holds a 25‑year PPA with the Gabonese State for a 60 MW / 30 MWh project developed in two phases. The project supports Gabon’s Vision 2030 energy diversification, providing cleaner, more reliable power and easing pressure on Libreville’s grid. De Gaulle Fleurance lawyers Sylvie Perrin and Racha Wylde advised the lenders."
