Project Background
Tatanga Energy has partnered with the Anglican Diocese of Central Zimbabwe to develop a 5MW solar power plant at St Patrick’s High School, in the Midlands Province of Zimbabwe. The project is being developed through a special purpose vehicle called Teges Solar. To date Tatanga Energy has commissioned the first phase of the project which is a 157kWp + 300 kWh BESS solar p.v. mini grid. The first phase of the project provides sufficient energy for the Diocese to power amongst other infrastructure a 800-student boarding school and a 62- bed hospital Rural District Hospital which is nearing completion. Excess electricity generated by the project is fed back to the national grid via a net metering arrangement.
The activities of the Diocese have a significant impact on people residing in the surrounding areas with a focus on education, health, agriculture and increasing employment opportunities. Improving the reliability and access to electricity will provide substantial benefits to the community.
The second phase 5 MW solar power plant under development will supply energy to industrial, mining and agricultural clients in the vicinity of the plant through the national transmission grid
TEGES Phase 1
Project is set to feed into the national grid once completed.
Solar irradiation at the site is good and the project is working towards securing a power generation license from Zimbabwe Energy Regulatory Authority (ZERA). The project is expected to have a minor environmental footprint and a full ESIA will be commissioned as the project develops.
