The two-phase scheme, known as the Kinshasa Solar City, includes the installation of a number of solar photovoltaic (PV) parks near the capital of the country. The 600-MWp phase one was initiated on August 19 and is expected to be completed within a year.
Sun Plus, a unit of The Sandi Group (TSG), has launched construction work on a 600-MWp solar plant in the Democratic Republic of Congo that is part of an even larger project totalling 1 GWp. The two-phase scheme, known as the Kinshasa Solar City, includes the installation of a number of solar photovoltaic (PV) parks near the capital of the country.
The Kinshasa Project is located in Southeastern Kinshasa and covers 4 hectares. It includes a 4-level building with huge aluminum window panes, a property for parties/conferences and a restaurant, as well as 3 buildings and 3 warehouses on the same plot.
TSG’s subsidiary, The Sandi Group, signed a 25-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with the National Electricity Company (Snel). Sun Plus plans to complete the first phase of the “Kinhasa Solar City” project within 1 year. The electricity generated by the future solar power plants will be fed into the grid of the state-owned utility Snel.
According to the authorities of the DRC, Snel will purchase 100% of the electricity produced by the solar power plants at a set rate of $0.095 per kWh. This will significantly improve the public company’s electricity supply to the 14 million inhabitants of the capital Kinshasa.
