Africa renewable energy market
Africa is an absolutely important market for meeco as renewable energy provider. They have already realised several solar projects in African countries and are currently in the preparation process for the implementation of further systems.
Solar energy represents a cost-effective and sustainable possibility of establishing a stable energy supply, which is essential for economic development and growth. In Africa, two-thirds of the population do not have this access to consistent electricity supply. Especially the south of Africa misses a well-developed energy infrastructure.
The growing economy and the associated increasing power demand cannot be satisfied with the current energy production. To meet this challenge, off-grid or weak-grid solar energy solutions provide a great chance to reliably supply those countries and their population with eco-friendly, clean power.
Considering the abundant natural resources in Africa and today’s prices of PV system components, solar energy solutions represent a unique opportunity to face the burgeoning energy demand. meeco aim to support African countries and expand the renewable energy sector in order to meet the huge energy demand.
Until today, meeco Group have implemented solar energy solutions in several Sub-Saharan countries. In Kenya, meeco Group is providing Safari lodges with their sun2rope clean energy systems and furthermore with their solar powered electric bikes sun2move. In Zimbabwe, they have realised one of the largest solar facility in the country, a 1,057 kWp sun2live solar energy plant, which saves about 1,339 tons of CO2 emissions per year. The next 400 kWp sun2live solar energy plant will be installed in the third quarter of 2019.
Currently, meeco is planning to support the development of a sustainable tourism in Botswana with their project development and financing model sun2share. Through this business model they aim to promote and speed up the adoption of clean energy options in order to displace polluting and expensive old technologies like diesel fuel generators.
