Issue 313 - 04 Dec 2015 | 1 minute read

Jumeme Rural Power Supply Ltd has attracted considerable interest for its independent solar photovoltaic (PV) hybrid mini-grid project in rural Tanzania.

Jumeme – owned by German developer Inensus, Austria’s Terra Project and Tanzania’s St Augustine University – has mobilised E9.7m in private equity and grants, and E6.7m of long-term debt to cover its initial E16.4m capital expenditure.
