via Mmegi10 hours ago3 min read
President Duma Boko is scheduled to launch the construction of a 500MW solar plant in Maun on Thursday, April 16, 2026. This facility will be Botswana's largest renewable energy project, stemming from energy and mineral agreements made with Oman. Omani green energy firm Naqaa Sustainable Energy LLC has been awarded the contract to design, finance, build, own, operate, maintain, and decommission the plant over 25 years. The project will include the country's first utility-scale Battery Energy Storage System, enabling electricity storage and strategic distribution to the grid. Naqaa Sustainable Energy is a subsidiary of O-Green, which is backed by the Oman Investment Authority, a sovereign wealth fund with over $53 billion in assets.
