Renewable energy company, Windforce PLC announced this week the successful commissioning of the 389 KWp Ground Mount Off-Grid Solar Power Project in Zanzibar, Tanzania.
The project was initially announced on November 9, 2023, and was completed on July 15, 2024, with an extended timeline. The delays were due to the development of required infrastructure from the client’s end, according to Windforce.
“This achievement demonstrates our commitment to advancing renewable energy solutions, promoting sustainable development, and reducing our carbon footprint,” Windforce said in a filing to the Colombo Stock Exchange (CSE).
In November 2023, Windforce entered into an agreement to construct an off-grid solar power project on Bawe Island, part of Zanzibar, Tanzania.
The engineering, design, procurement, installation, testing and commissioning of the 389kWp project was handled by Windforce for its client Bawe Retreat Limited, which is developing a luxury resort with 70 rooms in Bawe Island.
In a previous filing, Windforce disclosed that the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) cost of the project is US$ 292, 588 and the profit margin for Windforce is 15 percent.
