Tesla batteries help power new solar water desalination plant in Africa – Kenya GivePower has deployed a new water desalination plant in Africa using Tesla batteries and solar power that is now providing clean water to thousands of people. The system has been deployed in Kiunga, a rural village in Kenya where the lack of clean water had people sometimes rely on saltwater wells or even contaminated water. Desalination is a power-consuming process that is hard to implement in a place where power is already scarce. (LINK).

Relief as Mtongwe gets solar-powered desalination plant – Kenya Mtongwe residents can now smile all the way to their kitchens, drink fresh water and kiss their acute water shortage problems goodbye. This is after a charitable organisation installed a solar-powered water desalination plant in the area which has been experiencing frequent water shortages forcing residents to travel long distances to fetch salty water. The plant, installed by Bilal Muslim Mission of Kenya with the support of Borea Light GmbH and the Irene and Friedrich Vorwerk Foundation, can desalinate 2,000 litres per […] Relief as Mtongwe gets solar-powered desalination plant – KenyaDME GmbH2019-12-14T17:15:11+01:00
After Five Years of Drought, Kenyan Region Finally Gets Clean Water Thanks to Solar-Powered Saltwater Plant – Kenya For the last five years, this Kenyan region has been suffering from debilitating drought—but they have finally been given the gift of clean water thanks to a new solar-powered desalination plant. Prior to the plant’s launch in the town of Kiunga, villagers had completely run out of clean drinking water and had instead resorted to using dirty well-water and saltwater from the Indian Ocean. Now, the solar water farm produces enough clean drinking water for more than 35,000 people every day. Not only that, the […] After Five Years of Drought, Kenyan Region Finally Gets Clean Water Thanks to Solar-Powered Saltwater Plant – KenyaDME GmbH2019-12-12T05:17:15+01:00
Solar-powered water farm opens in Kenya – Kenya Spotted: The people living in the Kenyan fishing village of Kiunga have been forced to drink, cook and bathe in contaminated, brackish water for years. Last year, NGO GivePower installed a solar water farm in the village. The desalination system now provides clean water to all of the village’s 3500 residents, at a cost of around $20 per person. Kiunga’s location along the coast makes it an ideal site for the desalination farm. Housed in 20-foot shipping containers, it is portable, […] Solar-powered water farm opens in Kenya – KenyaDME GmbH2019-12-09T17:30:13+01:00
Desalination plant output hits record high – Namibia Originally built by Orano (then Areva Resources Namibia) to supply water to its Trekkopje Mine near Arandis, the desalination plant is now an important contributor to the overall supply of the potable water delivery system managed by Namwater. It provides about 75% of the overall drinking water to Swakopmund, as well as the nearby uranium mines and other industries. Located 35 kilometres north of Swakopmund, it is the largest reverse osmosis seawater desalination plant in southern Africa. (LINK).

Solar desalination aids water crisis – South Africa South Africa is facing a serious water crisis, particularly the provinces of the Western Cape, Northern Cape and Witsand in the Hessequa Municipality. The Western Cape was chosen as the location for Africa’s first seawater solar desalination plant. Despite the recognition that access to water and sanitation is a human right, in 2015, 3 in 10 people (2.1 billion) did not have access to safe drinking water, and 6 in 10 (4.5 billion) had no access to safely managed sanitation facilities.
