BPC engages Eskom expert to drive solar projects

The government has signed the Paris Agreement to increase green energy mix by 25% within the next seven years, which means that Botswana needs to establish 250MW on solar capacities by 2025.

As part of the agreement, Botswana has also pledged to reduce carbon dioxide emission to zero by 2036. According to a statement from the corporation, in his role Witbooi will lead the delivery results from the corporation’s entire existing generation portfolio as well as be instrumental in the transition to 50% of Botswana’s electricity being generated by solar power as mandated in Botswana’s Vision 2036.
