Integrated Photovoltaic and Energy Storage Solutions Boost Stable Electricity Supply in Kalobeyei Settlement
The Kalobeyei Settlement in Turkana County, Kenya, is a community created to alleviate the pressure on the Kakuma Refugee Camp. To assist this community in obtaining reliable and stable electricity supply, Jinko Solar has collaborated with organizations such as the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the African Clean Energy Fund to jointly advance the implementation of an integrated photovoltaic and energy storage microgrid project in the community.
This microgrid project utilizes Jinko Solar's efficient photovoltaic modules and containerized energy storage solutions, with a power capacity of 500kW and a battery storage capacity of 1,104kWh, to help connect over 2,700 users within the community to the electricity supply network. In 2023, this project was listed on the Wall Street CN - ESG Innovation Practice Award.
