Solarcentury to Build Two Solar Power Projects in Eritrea

SolarcenturyAugust 3, 2017200

Solarcentury has been selected to design and build two solar powered mini-grids using solar PV and lithium batteries to power the communities of Areza and Maidma in Eritrea, East Africa.

A representative of the Eritrean Ministry of Energy and Mines said, “This project aims to improve the livelihoods of people living in rural towns and villages. It is hoped the project will be replicated in order to mitigate the adverse effects of climate change in Eritrea and provide access to reliable power 24/7.”

Dr Daniel Davies, Director of Hybrid Power Systems at Solarcentury said, “Solar power and energy storage technologies are increasingly the most cost-effective way to deliver clean reliable power to areas remote from the grid. This exciting project builds on the work we have done elsewhere in Africa and will demonstrate the amazing potential for solar to provide low-cost reliable power in isolated areas”.

The project is scheduled for completion in early 2018.
