Resolute Marine Launches Feasibility Studies in Cape Verde

September 12, 2017
Pursuant to a Sustainable Energy for Africa (SEFA) grant awarded to Resolute by the African Development Bank (AfDB) to cover certain pre-deployment costs associated with Resolute’s W2O Project, several requests for expressions of interest (REOI) were released today by the AfDB and are available for review using the web links provided below. The REOIs pertain to a series of feasibility studies which will take place at the proposed W20 Project deployment site in Praia Grande, Sao Vicente, Cabo Verde and for capacity building initiatives to be undertaken in partnership with the Cape Verde National Institute of Fisheries - Instituto Nacional de Desenvolvimento das Pescas (INDP)
