• The International Solar Alliance (ISA) is setting up a 15MW project under its Global Solar Facility (GSF) backed by the World Bank’s Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA).
• In collaboration with solar power firm Nuru, the project will be spread across three provinces in the Eastern DRC.
• Nuru plans to deploy an additional 39MW in subsequent phases, aiming to provide power to up to 5 million people by 2025.

Nuru, a pioneering solar power company, has embarked on an ambitious project with the mission of constructing a 15-megawatt (MW) solar metro grid capacity in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

This groundbreaking initiative is set to unfold across three provinces in Eastern Congo, where the abundant availability of solar energy will be harnessed not only as a power source but also as a beacon of hope for a region often shrouded in the shadows of energy poverty.
