Energy focused junior, Shumba Energy, has partnered with South African developers in response to a government tender for a pioneering 100MW solar power tender.

Last year, the Ministry of Minerals, Energy and Water Resources issued a request for Expression of Interest (EOI) to construct, operate, maintain and decommission at the end of its economic life, a scalable solar power plant.
