Matambo signs two deals

The first deal the Japanese government has donated P83.6 million to build a One Megawatt Photovoltaic (PV) Power Station in Phakalane. "Unlike other small solar power facilities, this PV Power Station will be connected to the grid of the Botswana Power Corporation in order to mitigate the power shortage in Botswana," Japanese ambassador to Botswana Ryoichi Matsuyama said at the signing ceremony.

He stated that the Japanese government has pledged $15 billion in the next three years to help developing countries in areas of technology and capacity building in global climate issues.
