Power shortages have plagued many African countries. In the past decade, only Angola and Botswana have not experienced widespread power outages out of the 11 countries in southern Africa. South Africa, Africa’s most industrialized economy, has seen 10-hour daily rotational power outages this year. The situation is similar across much of Sub-Saharan Africa, with nearly four in five (78%) businesses reporting that they face timed and prolonged power outages; the highest proportion in the world.
Where there is no electricity, businesses cannot thrive, and the lack of electricity also makes it difficult for African countries to create jobs and attract foreign investment.
In April this year, when Fanye Power participated in the International Solar Energy Exhibition in Africa, it had in-depth discussions with African customers to explore the problem of local electricity shortages and inspected troubled areas for themselves. In the absence of electricity supply, industrial and mining enterprises, commercial services and people’s lives in Africa have been severely affected, and hospitals and schools are unable to work normally. Electricity shortages are a major obstacle for people in Africa to access education, health care, or find jobs.
Driven by peak carbon and carbon neutrality (dual carbon goals), Fanye Power, as a new energy technology enterprise, provides the industry and users with solutions for the comprehensive application of green energy and the integration of photovoltaic storage and charging through the development and utilization of clean and renewable energy, so as to meet the green power needs of various application scenarios such as household energy storage, as well as industrial and commercial energy storage. With its strong technical force and high-quality and efficient solar storage products, Fanye has won the trust of local customers in Africa, reached friendly and cooperative relations with local governments, jointly built African photovoltaic storage projects, and officially began to aid in the construction of photovoltaic power generation projects for African middle schools since December of this year. The infrastructure of secondary schools in Africa is in a state of concern, and their lack of electricity supply is an urgent issue to be solved. So Fanye, at their own expense, designed and manufactured a customized photovoltaic storage system for a middle school and arranged for technicians to go to the area and install it, and instruct the teachers in the school on how to use the photovoltaic equipment correctly. This successfully solved the school’s electricity problem has given children an opportunity to go back to school and learn.
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Belt and Road Initiative. The Belt and Road Initiative is an important part of the Global Development Initiative proposed by China. Fanye Power has actively responded to this proposal as it understands the supply and demand of countries along the “Belt and Road” and how important it is to promote friendly exchanges and mutually beneficial cooperation between China and Africa. So Fanye has taken practical actions to implement jointly building the “Belt and Road” by assisting communities to improve their education facilities and to expand their methods of earning decent livelihoods.
Fanye’s cooperation in Africa is advocated by General Secretary Xi Jinping who applauds carrying out “small but beautiful” livelihood projects. Fanye is able to provide many unique advantages of new energy enterprises, and promotes accelerating photovoltaics to becoming a main energy source, so that energy shortages no longer bottleneck progress, and the dream of green low-carbon development can be lit.
Fanye believes that in the future, green power will benefit millions of households, help all walks of life, and become a beacon to a new era of sustainable growth.
