UK-based private power firm Globeleq plans to instal a plant battery at its 52-megawatt Malindi solar unit to help extend supply to peak evening hours.
Solar power plants are at their peak productivity in the day, when demand is lower, especially for households. According to the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (Epra), Kenya’s peak demand occurs between 8pm and 8.30pm in the coastal region, and between 7.30pm and 8pm for the rest of the country.
