JCM power has announced the commencement of commercial operations for its 20MW utility-scale solar project (Golomoti) in Malawi. The project is a grid-connected hybrid solar and battery energy storage comprising a 28.5MWp solar array coupled with a 5MW/10MWh lithium-ion battery and will provide 20MW of much-needed power to Malawi’s grid.
Golomoti is JCM Power’s second renewable energy project in Malawi after the 60MW Salima Solar project entered operations in October 2021. Construction took under 12 months from mobilising to the site in March 2021 and reaching commercial operations on 1 March 2022.
