POWERCHINA has successfully handed over the first site of the second phase of a microgrid photovoltaic project in Suriname. This major initiative aims to deliver continuous 24-hour power to remote villages. The project features an off-grid microgrid system that integrates photovoltaic panels, energy storage, and diesel generation. Five project groups, covering a total of 34 forest villages, are being constructed by POWERCHINA. Upon completion, the project is expected to generate approximately 5,314 MWh annually. The initial handover covers 12 villages, benefiting around 1,550 residents. In 2019, POWERCHINA initiated the first phase of the project, which included designing, procuring, and constructing 650 kw of photovoltaics and 2.6 MWh of energy storage. The project leverages China’s green and low-carbon solutions to address power supply challenges in off-grid areas.
