23 May 2014Solarcentury Completes 1MW Solar Project in Kenya
May 22, 2014 - Williamson Tea has unveiled East Africa's solar project at its Changoi Tea Farm in Bomet County, Western Kenya. The solar system will cut Williamson Tea's energy costs by around 30%, supplying clean solar electricity during the daytime to meet most of the tea processing factory's energy demand. Williamson Tea's system will reduce the need for grid electricity and the consumption of diesel when back‐up energy production is required. This innovative use of solar engineering is only the sixth system of its kind to be built in the world.When the national grid is working, Williamson Tea's solar farm will work in parallel with the grid and reduce the amount of grid electricity imported. When the grid is down, the solar power system will work together with the standby diesel generators, significantly reducing the amount of diesel consumed.Commenting on Williamson Tea's solar farm, Dr Dan Davies, Director for Solarcentury locally in East Africa said, "We applaud Williamson Tea for investing in solar to support the company's sustainable business growth. In a country blessed with plentiful irradiance and land space, solar is a perfect solution and reduces dependence on fossil fuels while improving energy security." -
