a solar power generation system at the transmitter site (ESWATS) to supply power to the building and all systems except the transmitters. This will ensure continuous operations and maintenance of critical systems during daylight hours without increasing fuel costs. To address the effects of load shedding on the
Prince Lonkokhela, the minister of Natural Resources and Energy, announced at the event that Eswatini is set to increase its electricity generation capacity by 241 megawatts as of July 2026 in an ambitious goal for universal, affordable, reliable and modern energy by 2030. As highlighted during the forum, this presents excellent opportunities
Eswatini Electricity Company''s internal generation is a mix of both hydro and solar PV. a) Hydro Power Station. The company holds four major hydro power station. Edwaleni Power Station ----- 15 MW; Maguga hydropower Station ----- 20MW; Ezulwini hydropower Station ----- 20MW
The Project is a stand-alone mini-grid which consists of a centralised 35kW solar PV generation plant complete with 200kWh battery storages system and an AC LV reticulation network designed to service about 26 rural homesteads through an advanced smart metering system for billing.
The project, touted as the largest one of its kind in Africa, envisages the installation of the solar farm at the Edwaleni hydropower plant (HPP) in Matsapha, central Eswatini. Planned to span an area of 45 ha (111 acres), it will be equipped with 75,000 PV panels to produce more than 100 million kWh of electricity annually.
On behalf of Business Eswatini, it is a privilege to introduce this insightful market report on embedded solar generation. As the world transitions toward cleaner, more sustainable energy solutions, the role of solar power is at the forefront of innovation, offering exciting new avenues for growth and development.
Shifting focus to larger-scale projects, such as the Eswatini Solar-Storage Project by Frazer Energy, by granting IPP licenses is poised to increase electricity access, create jobs and even export power to communities throughout Southern Africa. Additionally, the government-owned Eswatini Electric Company (EEC) completed the Lavumisa Solar PV
Independent power producer (IPP) Globeleq and its consortium partner, Sturdee Energy Southern Africa, have been selected as the preferred bidder to develop 30 MW of solar projects in the Kingdom of Eswatini.
