en.Wedoany.com Reported - Indian company ElecMech India has signed an Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) agreement with Zanzibar Electricity Corporation to develop a 30 MW solar power plant in the Matemwe area of Zanzibar.

Zanzibar previously relied mainly on submarine cables from mainland Tanzania and diesel power generation, which suffered from poor reliability and high costs. The new solar project will inject 30 MW of clean electricity into the grid, helping to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and lower power generation costs. The Matemwe area has a thriving tourism industry, with hotels and resorts having an urgent need for stable power supply. The solar power plant will improve the local power infrastructure.

ElecMech India is responsible for the full execution of the project, including design, equipment procurement, construction, and commissioning. The company's experience in the renewable energy sector was key to securing the contract. The project will create job opportunities during the construction phase, boosting the local economy, and support long-term development through a stable power supply once operational. Environmentally, the project helps Zanzibar reduce carbon emissions, aligning with global clean energy trends. This agreement reflects the rising interest in renewable energy investments in the East African region. Once completed, it is expected to provide reliable electricity to tens of thousands of households and businesses.
