Introducing the Tati Solar Project
Solar energy was selected as our initial entry point as Botswana enjoys strong solar irradiation all year round
Class I site – one of the best on-shore solar resources in the region.
Key Project Highlights
- Dollar based Income in Political stable jurisdiction
- Strong Technical Expertise
- Market Risk – hedged
- Strong Infrastructure
- Evacuation – multiple options and Back up
- Strategically located Area
- Project Finance and support from one of Africa’s largest Financial Institution
