Once the contractor is selected the agreement will be signed with the Ministry of Education to start the project implementation.
In order to develop a sustainable project close to SMN Barka power plant, the Company initiated discussions with Barka Municipality for the plantation of trees besides SMN Barka Power and Water Plant.
