The funds will be provided as a concessional loan from France. The Water for All programme aims to improve the drinking water supply for 600,000 people in the West African nation.</p> <p><em><strong>Read also: </strong></em><a class="LinkSuggestion__Link-sc-1gewdgc-4 evyocv" href="https://theelectricityhub.com/enugu-state-government-set-to-deploy-solar-powered-boreholes/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em><strong>Enugu State Government Set to Deploy Solar-Powered Boreholes</strong></em></a></p> <p>Vergnet Hydro plans to fit each borehole with a solar and a manual pump as well as a 4 cubic metres tank. With the installation of solar panels at each borehole site, the pumps will provide power when there is a power cut from the grid and ensure that there is a 24-hours supply of potable water. The unreliable power supply has led to inefficiency in existing electric boreholes.</p> <p>Lat February, Vergnet Hydro also won a contract to build 17 drinking water supply systems across several regions in Ivory Coast. These systems included 12 electric and five mixed (solar/electric or solar/thermal) systems ranging from 4 to 7 kWp.</p> <p>The post <a href="https://theelectricityhub.com/ivory-coast-vergnet-hydro-to-upgrade-boreholes-with-solar-pumps/">Ivory Coast: Vergnet Hydro to Upgrade Boreholes with Solar Pumps</a> appeared first on <a href="https://theelectricityhub.com">The Electricity Hub</a>.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://theelectricityhub.com/ivory-coast-vergnet-hydro-to-upgrade-boreholes-with-solar-pumps/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> <enclosure url="https://theelectricityhub.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Ivory-Coast...-2.m4a" length="2813469" type="audio/mpeg" /> </item> </channel> </rss>
