Botswana launches floating solar tender
Original: Botswana kicks off floating solar tender
Botswana has opened a tender for a floating solar power project, according to pv magazine Global. Floating solar, installed on bodies of water, is attracting growing interest across Africa as countries seek to expand renewable capacity without competing for scarce land. Details on project size, location and timeline have not yet been published, but the move signals Botswana's intent to diversify its largely coal-based energy mix toward solar.
Why now: New renewable energy procurement in a coal-dependent African country draws attention from the solar industry and energy watchers.
