Sustainable development in eastern Africa means making big investments in solar energy. When the ambassador from Kenya visited Västernorrland for two days, the Absolicon X10 solar power plant was one of the most well-received study visits.

Despite being the middle of winter, heat is produced at Härnösand’s Energypark. This sunny winter day was perfect for a study visit and the ambassador Ms. Purity W. Muhindi showed great interest in Absolicon’s solar collectors. Joakim Byström was on site to provide more information about the installation.

“Africa is an exciting market for us. This is the second time that we have met the ambassador and have demonstrated our technology,” explains Joakim Byström.

The purpose of the ambassador’s visit in Västernorrland was to generate business contacts and foster an exchange of knowledge to help foster development in Kenya.

Despite being in the middle of winter, heat is still produced by the sun's ray hitting the solar collector's reflectors.
