PDP project focus: 1 MW solar park in Zambia
The newly commissioned 1 MW ground-mounted PV-plant of CEC
An open space solar park in Kitwe, northern Zambia – the result of a German-Zambian collaboration – has become a beacon for the future development of solar energy in the West African region. The German EPC company BayWa r.e (Africa) GmbH was responsible for the planning and construction of the 1 MWp system and provided the technical components, while the plant owner and local distribution grid operator Copperbelt Energy Cooperation (CEC) integrated it. The project was made possible with the support of the Project Development Programme (PDP) – part of the German Energy Solutions Initiative – and the AHK Zambia.

Sunken shaft hydropower plant protects wildlife
Opens in a new window
An innovative hydropower plant design developed by the Technical University of Munich (TUM) dramatically lowers the impact on wildlife and adheres to strict new environmental standards. The hydro-shaft plant which has been built into an existing a weir in the river Loisach, Bavaria, is a world-first. A TUM spin-off has licensed the patented technology and has plans to build 12 more hydro plants across Germany.

Electrodes made from magnolia leaves
Opens in a new window
A research team from the Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology (IPHT) in Jena, has succeeded in metallizing the leaves of the Magnolia tree to create electrodes with excellent optical and electronic properties. The new design enables highly-effective transport in both directions and could feed into other areas such as grid architecture, fibre optic design and town planning.
