African Power Projects
African Power Projects is a renewable energy company developing a portfolio of electrcity generation projects in Southern Africa. In Zambia, African Power Projects is involved in developing hydroelectric, solar pv, biomass and energy storage projects.
The 180MW, 800GWh per year Ngonye Falls run-of-river hydroelectric project is ready for construction and is scheduled to begin generation in 2025.
Developed by Western Power Company.
The 5MW Mulungushi run-of-river mini-hydro & mini-grid project has completed its environmental assessment and is undergoing final technical definition.
Developed by Western Renewable Power in partnership with Buffalo Energy.
The 40MW Sesheke solar pv project is in the final stages of development and is expected to begin generation in 2023.
Developed by Western Renewable Power in partnership with Buffalo Energy.
The 10MW + 10MWh Ilute solar pv project will use battery storage to provide smoothed, reliable output, to reduce grid impact and to reduce economic risks.
Battery storage will allow for trading opportunities on regional electricity markets.
African Power Projects is investigating a number of innovative energy storage technologies which can provide a range of grid-support services as well as facilitating the addition of significant MWs of new intermittent renewable energy projects.
The 20MW+ Kaluba biothermal project will use readily available agricultural waste to generate both electricity and process heat. The project will support a large number of small-scale and emergent farmers with a novel, waste-based income stream.
African Power Projects is using advanced data analytics and modelling to explore novel approaches to achieve bankability for new energy projects in Southern Africa including through trading on the SAPP regional market and through energy storage technology.
