BWI’s Renewable Energy Center in Kakata, Liberia is doing daily runs of three PP20’s to supply a large portion of their campus with power. Planning to begin a commercial mini grid project, BWI REC hopes to begin selling power at affordable rates to a even larger service area adjacent to the campus, and hopes to become self sustaining. Too remote to be included in the unreliable national power grid, BWI has had to use expensive diesel power in their attempt to reboot their institution after its devastation during the recent civil wars.
APL recently delivered the first of its PP20s to the Songhai Center in Benin. From the Songhai website: “The Centre Songhai is principally involved in agricultural training, research, and production for sustainable livelihood in Africa. Founded… in 1985, the Center has been managed by Africans since then. The Center’s aim is to create the conditions for improving the lives of Africans, the great majority of whom live in rural areas.”
