African countries accelerated in the solar industry in recent years, Zambia has joined multiple types of photovoltaic power generation. At the end of July, China Water Conservancy Hydropower Construction Co., Ltd. won the Civil Engineering Part of the Biaruang Solar Power Generation Project. The power station will use a large number of mirrors to accumulate the energy of the sunlight into the heat transfer medium, and heat the heat can be transmitted to the inlet steam of the steam turbine by heat exchange means, and finally generates 200 mega of power generation power. In 2019, Zambia's Pama pig electricity price drops to Saharan African countries have the lowest level, less than $ 40 per megawat, which promotes the development of this industry. The scale of the solar photovoltaic power generation project in Zambia is currently close to 500 megawatts.
The new solar project of the African Solar Industry Association is concerned, including projects from Damo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Tanzania and Namibia. Even in the West African small island country Sao Dome and Principe, a 550 kW small solar power station is also being built.
Asley Douglas, the Director of the African Carbon Exchange said in an interview that many countries in Africa are in a critical period of energy transformation, and the industrial electricity gauge is huge. At the same time, about half of the African population is not used power-on, and the cost is relatively Low and extensible solar energy is an important solution to speed up this process. Douglas emphasizes that the African region is broad, the regional development is imbalance, but relatively consistent features are rich in sunshine resources, and can absorb multiple types, scale and technical investment of solar industries. Africa is expected to be a key area of the rapid development of the global solar industry.
