Scatec Solar commissions solar hybrid plant in Malakal, South Sudan

Scatec Solar has commissioned a hybrid solar and battery storage plant in Malakal, South Sudan. The plant will power the Humanitarian Hub, which is managed by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in Malakal. Scatec Solar has developed the project in partnership with Kube Energy. The plant, with a solar PV capacity of 700 kWp, along with a 1,368 kWh battery energy storage system, is connected to the existing diesel generators at IOM. The solar power generated will meet 80 per cent of the energy consumed at the hub.
