Project Description
Radio Pacis installs new PV systems to upgrade its existing electricity generation. First, the steel rebar system is upgraded to support the new PV system, afterwards the system itself is installed and connected to the overall electricity grid. Additionally, battery systems are installed to ensure that the radio equipment has access to power. This allows Radio Pacis to continue its operations even if there is a power outage. By ensuring that Radio Pacis retains operability listeners can stay informed about current (emergency) news regardless of the national energy supply. Additionally, because of the already installed system, the extended solar park reaches 504 kWp and can also sustain the day-to-day needs of the regional referral hospital, other health units, small enterprises and shops in Arua (in total more than 250,000 people). This leads to better economic development in the area and even greater opportunities to expand the solar PV systems in the region.
