LMI Holdings, a wholly-owned Ghanaian firm, has commissioned the largest rooftop solar project in Africa.
The 16.82 MWp solar project, the second largest of its kind in the world, is located in the Tema Free Zone enclave.
Spanning one million square feet and costing $17 million, the project currently supplies between 10 to 15 per cent of the power needs for industries in the Free Zone Enclave.
At the commissioning, Adlai Opoku-Boamah, Managing Director of LMI Holdings, described the project as a significant milestone toward the company’s dream of energy independence and environmental stewardship.
“Since we in LMI Holdings are proud of this great achievement, it is important to state that this is only a first step into the renewable energy generation space and it would certainly not be our last.”
