Kenya’s first-ever floating solar power plant is set to be constructed in the rift valley region. The 69 kW power infrastructure will be commissioned for Rift Valleys Roses, a family-owned rose-growing company located near Lake Naivasha, on one of the flower farm’s water reservoirs using a floating substructure.

The floating solar power plant project will be undertaken by Technolectric, a provider of electrical power solutions for the Commercial and Industrial sectors in East Africa. It will comprise 216 solar panels and four solar inverters supplied by Solarwatt and Kaco New Energy, which are German-based PV panel suppliers and solar inverter manufacturers respectively.

Upon completion, the project is not only expected to lower the Rift Valleys Roses’ energy bills but also to save up to 68 tonnes of CO2 emissions per year.

Financing for the project
The project is financed by Ecoligo GmbH, a German crowd investing company focused on commercial and industrial solar projects in emerging markets. This will be the second solar power project for the Rift Valleys Roses Company, financed by Ecoligo following last year’s 75 kWp solar power plant.

On a statement, Ecoligo noted that it expects approximately 1628 kWh to be generated annually from every kilowatt installed.

Sustainable development
This project is in line with the Kenyan government’s aim to utilize sustainable sources of electricity, especially in rural areas.

The Kenyan Ministry of Energy with the financial support of the International Development Agency (IDA) has so far established an initiative, the Kenya Off-Grid Solar Access Project (KOSAP), whose objective is to provide electricity through solar off-grid to 1.3 million households in remote villages in 14 counties in the East African country.

It is also expected to enable the installation of about 380 solar water pumping systems and 150,000 eco-friendly cookers.

2018: Kenya Charts Path to Achieving Universal Access to Electricity

2018: Kenya outshines neighbours in access to mains electricity

2022: 100% electricity access in Kenya. Kenya will be the second country in sub saharan africa to achieve this after south africa. Ghana will follow a few years later. Tanzania is not on the radar yet to ensure universal 100% access to electricity by 2030. The only countries that will have 100% access will be south africa, Kenya,Ghana and Mauritius.

😂😂 bongo tunawaza umeme wa gesi na nyuklia nyie ndio mnawaza umeme wa jua, ambao kila nchi ina jua, kweli nyie ndio kunya land

Wapo Stone age Hawa watu..Yani sisi tunawasha umeme Hadi kwenye nyumba za nyasi..wenyewe wanakuja na pump za solar power

All countries that had nuclear earlier than you are all moving away from nuclear to solar,wind,geothermal. China, america, Germany all want to go to solar, wind and geothermal.
Japan is also moving away from nuclear after their last fukushima daiichi nuclear disaster. The world is moving to solar, wind and geothermal.
i) As of May 2018, China holds the record for largest operational solar project in its 1,547-MW project at Tengger.

ii) Germany Sees Solar Installations Spike to Nearly 3GW in 2018
iii) Germany Rejected Nuclear Power—and Deadly Emissions Spiked.

endelea kujidangaya na huo upuuzi wako, hizo nchi umesika kua zitahachana na matumizi ya nuclear katika kuzalisha umeme, huo umeme wa jua sijui upepo ni kama ziada tu.

Kwanza jua na upepo kila nchi inavyo sasa sijui ni kitu gani kinachofanya muone ni jambo la ajabu sana
