Murray McCully
New Zealand’s government announced today that they will fund the largest solar energy plant in Afghanistan. Foreign Affairs Minister Murray McCully said that they will provide 18.6 million NZ dollars ($15.05 million US) so that a solar energy system can be built in Afghanistan’s Bamiyan province. Construction is expected to be completed at the end of 2013.
Once completed, the 1.05 megawatt solar plant will provide power for as many as 2,500 homes, businesses and government buildings. Two New Zealand companies, NetCon Ltd and Sustainable Energy Services International, have been awarded the contract to build the plant.
