The Boqolmayo area of the Liibaan region, the Somali State of Ethiopia has completed an important solar-powered electric supply project that will supply more than 43,500 households with electricity around-the-clock.
A 2-megawatt solar power plant linked to 5,292 posts with a 5.5 battery backup and an extra motor to prevent blackouts is part of the project, which is being carried out by SinoSolar of China.
