Solar Power Extended in Zambia
Posted on: Tuesday, 16 August 2005, 03:01 CDT
Schools and community organisations in rural Zambia will soon be getting solar panels to generate electricity for lighting, radio, television and refrigeration.
Apex-BP Solar, a subsidiary of BP France, will supply 121 community organisations and nine schools with solar panels that will amount to almost 250 kW of new installed solar capacity.
Apex-BP Solar's distributor, Electrical Maintenance Lusaka Limited (EML), has been contracted by Zambia's Social Investment Fund to install the panels and train their users in various schools and health centres.
"I have been fully committed to development especially of rural areas for the last 40 years I have lived in Zambia and I look forward to continuing this process with Apex-BP Solar," George Narder, EML chairman said. "Our success lies on quality both of equipment and workmanship. The clinics and schools need the most reliable installation being so isolated and far away from the main cities."
