ABOUT
The Golomoti project is Malawi’s second solar IPP after JCM’s Salima solar project and proudly boasts the first utility-scale grid-connected battery energy storage system in sub-Saharan Africa, having connected to the grid in December 2021.
The 60ha site sits within 110ha of land leased by JCM located to the south of the town of Golomoti, enabling future expansion of the solar and energy storage elements.
JCM signed a power purchase agreement (PPA) with the Electricity Supply Corporation of Malawi Limited (ESCOM) and obtained all the permits and Land Agreements, in addition with an Implementation Agreement (IA) signed both Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Energy.
The project entered commercial operations on 1 March 2022.
