Botswana secures P1.7bn renewable energy funding

The energy storage system, a key project under government’s Integrated Resource Plan (IRP), will support the wave of renewable energy generation in the country, allowing “smooth integration” in the national grid.

In a statement, the World Bank and its funding partners said the loans and grants would also go towards the necessary grid investment required for the project, as well as grid expansion to rural villages and the improvement of electricity services in the Southern districts.
