Hybridization of Banfora Gold Mine Burkina Faso Pre-Feasibility Study (RAPPORT D´EVALUATION DES SITES)

A previous study by Ernst & Young (Dec. 2018) showed the relevance of developing a solar PV power plant near the mine to meet more than 50% of its needs. The implementation of the project is proposed in 3 progressive phases:
1. HFO plant only: which is currently in service to supply the mine (reference cost)
2. HFO plant + Solar/battery plant: hybridization of the existing plant in isolated mode, possibly connected to the existing MV network

Identifying/Screening Projects for PPP Implementation: Afghanistan

Afghanistan, like many developing countries, has been seeking ways to develop and improve infrastructure within the framework of limited fiscal capabilities. In recent years, the World Bank Group has been working with the Government of Afghanistan on increasing private participation in infrastructure. Public-private partnerships are increasingly seen as a means to harness private innovation and finance while the government maintains ultimate ownership and insurance of the public interest.

Unified Framework for Feasibility Assessment: Identifying/Screening Projects for PPP Implementation in the Republic of Korea

The Republic of Korea has a long history of PPP. Its early experience consisted of individual legislation for specific projects. In 1994, the government began to formalize its process with the passing of the Act for the Promotion of Private Capital Investment in Social Overhead Capital, which provided the legal framework for the broader use of PPP. The legislation was revised in 1999 to produce the Act for Public-Private Partnerships in Infrastructure, which provided for the establishment of a PPP unit.
