The Zambian Ruida Mining Microgrid Power Station has been officially launched.

On October 28th, the photovoltaic energy storage microgrid power generation project of SANY Silicon Energy at the Ridda Mine in Zambia was officially launched in the mining area of the Ridda Mine in Kabompo, Northwestern Province, Zambia. This landmark project is not only the first attempt of SANY Silicon Energy in the overseas "photovoltaic + energy storage + diesel generator" microgrid power generation field but also symbolizes an important step forward in China-Africa cooperation in the new energy field.

In this project, SANY Silicon Energy demonstrated its iconic "SANY speed". From the signing of the PPA agreement in mid-August to the adoption of a flexible mode of mainly domestic procurement and sporadic urgent parts local procurement in the project, each step was carefully planned and efficiently executed. Under the personal coordination of Dai Qinghua, Chairman of SANY Silicon Energy, the first batch of photovoltaic modules, brackets, inverters, and cables were successfully shipped on September 18th, and the first construction team of 12 people set off on October 23rd and arrived at the site only 4 days later. From the signing of the agreement to the official start of construction, it only took 2 months, and the project is expected to be completed and supply power on December 31st. This series of rapid and orderly actions fully demonstrates SANY Silicon Energy's excellent capabilities in project management and execution.

Relying on the strong strength of SANY Group's entire industrial chain of wind, solar, energy storage, and hydrogen and its low-carbon strategy, this project, through optimizing the full life cycle management of energy, will provide strong support for Zambia to address climate change, promote economic development, and achieve energy diversification in the context of Zambia facing challenges in traditional hydropower generation.

The launch of this project marks a solid step forward in SANY Silicon Energy's green mine practice. Looking ahead, this project will lay a solid foundation for the green, efficient, and sustainable development of the mine and also make positive contributions to China-Africa cooperation and energy diversification in the new energy field. It is expected that this project can be completed and put into operation as soon as possible, injecting new vitality into the energy transformation and green development of Zambia and even the entire African region.
