The capital will be utilised to fund solar and battery systems, enabling the start-up to add over 16MW of solar capacity.
Since construction on the project began in October 2024, around 2 400 solar panels have been installed.
The proposed measures would increase customs duties on components used in solar, wind and battery storage technologies.
The power purchase agreement will ensure access to large-scale renewable energy for local corporate and industrial businesses.
