Kamoa Copper Solar Baseload Plant
Sector: Solar • Location: Democratic Republic of the Congo
Source: Serrari Group
Construction of Africa's first solar and battery energy storage system (BESS) baseload plant to provide 30 MW of dispatchable renewable baseload energy supply to the Kamoa Copper mine in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The plant includes a 222 MWp solar PV system and a 123 MVA/526 MWh battery energy storage system, aiming to offset fuel generators and reduce carbon emissions by around 78,750
