From China to Malawi
The transportation of materials for the Golomoti Solar project from China to Malawi was carried out from March to December 2021.
The two companies committed to co-fund the construction of the Golomoti Solar Project, Infra Co Africa, which is part of the Private Infrastructure Development Group, and the independent power producer JCM Power, a Canadian-based renewable energy company, contracted Bolloré Logistics for the task.
Bolloré’s subsidiary in Malawi organised the shipment solar panels, batteries and other equipment for East Africa’s first solar utility-scale grid-connected battery energy storage system.
The logistics provider transported 121 teu of solar panels and related infrastructure from various ports in China and 100 teu of batteries and assorted apparatus from the Port of Beira (Mozambique) to the Golomoti plant, located in the Dedza district – approximately 100 km south-east of Lilongwe.
