Sungrow has recently partnered with JCM Power, InfraCo Africa, RINA, and Innovate UK to construct the Republic of Malawi's first utility-scale solar-plus-storage project. Located in the Dedza district of Malawi near the town of Golomoti, the 20 MWac solar PV and 5 MW/10 MWh energy storage project is set to become a leading project in sub-Saharan Africa in demonstrating the value of solar PV coupled with energy storage.
The project will fully adopt Sungrow's one-stop solar-plus-storage MV solution comprised of PV inverter, MV station, all-in-one Power Conversion System, battery container, and energy management system (EMS). Sungrow's PV and storage technologies will be deployed to improve the availability, reliability, and quality of the Malawi power supply by providing frequency regulation, voltage regulation, peak shaving, and reactive power support.
The Golomoti project, which is expected to enter operations at the end of 2021, will have all engineering, procurement, and construction activities managed by JCM Power.
