JinkoSolar Powers Tanzania’s First Solar PV Project to Full Grid Connection

Recently, the 50 MW solar PV project in Shinyanga, Tanzania, fully equipped with JinkoSolar’s high-efficiency photovoltaic modules, successfully achieved full-capacity grid connection and power generation. This marks not only the official entry into stable operation of Tanzania’s first solar power plant but also another successful application case of JinkoSolar’s high-quality modules in an emerging African market.

As a significant clean energy project in East Africa, the project utilized JinkoSolar’s high-efficiency PV modules throughout its construction. Facing challenges such as complex local climatic conditions, tight logistics schedules, and stringent grid access requirements in Tanzania, the JinkoSolar team worked closely with the general contractor, PowerChina, to ensure the timely supply of core equipment and technical support. This collaboration laid a solid foundation for the project’s ultimate success in achieving full-capacity grid connection in a single attempt.

JinkoSolar’s high-efficiency modules guarantee excellent power generation performance under local environmental conditions. Once fully operational, the project is expected to generate approximately 72,000 MWh of electricity annually and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 57,000 tons per year. This will effectively alleviate the local pressure on electricity supply and demand, contributing to Tanzania’s green energy transition.

The successful grid connection of this project demonstrates JinkoSolar’s technological strength as a globally leading manufacturer of PV modules and sets a new benchmark for the company’s further promotion of efficient clean energy solutions in the African market.
