Construction of a total of 72 projects, including 2 utility-scale solar plants (504 MWdc); 64 solar mini-grids (220 MWdc) with energy storage facilities (287 MWh); solar cabin systems and 1 solar cabin-only project; household solar power production systems; distribution infrastructure; the expansion of 5 existing distribution networks through 45,422 new household connections; and rural water collection, treatment, and distribution systems that will be powered by the mini-grids.
The rural electrification projects will be implemented via primary, secondary, and tertiary infrastructure. The primary infrastructure consists of solar PV mini-grids and battery energy storage systems with MV/LV distribution infrastructure, and includes smart meters connected to homes that are less than 2 km from the center of the community. The secondary infrastructure comprises solar cabin systems (SCS) that will be deployed to provide electricity to clustered homes that are more than 2 km from the center of the community. The tertiary infrastructure consists of solar home systems (SHS) distributed to homes that are located beyond a 5 km radius but within a 15 km radius from the center of the community.
This project offering an integrated solution to improve electrification, the local economy, the health and quality of life of citizens, and environmental protection in these remote provinces through organized and targeted project support by the United States (US) government and its partners. One of the benefits of this major project is the involvement of leading US and international companies, US EXIM Bank, and US EXIM’s partners.
