Malawi’s president Peter Mutharika has launched a 60-megawatt solar plant to be constructed by JCM Matswana Solar Energy at Kanzimbe in Salima, Malawi.
The project involves the development of a 60 MW solar photovoltaic plant in Salima, in eastern Malawi. The plant will be built on an 80-hectare site within 4km of the Salima (Nanjoka) substation and will connect to the substation via a 4km 132kV transmission line.
The 60 MW power generated is to be sold to ESCOM (Electricity Supply Corporation of Malawi), the state-owned power producing company in Malawi after they have concluded a power purchase agreement.
