Shumba secures partners for 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. The plant is earmarked to meet electricity needs for Jwaneng, mines in the North West region and surrounding areas.

In response to the request for an EOI, Shumba Energy says after having identified opportunities to develop solar PV power plants in Botswana, it partnered with co – developers, namely Mulilo, SunPower and Total.
