On June 11, Cicada Africa announced on their X platform that Cicada Solar was “proud to announce the commissioning of a 1MW solar plant at Falcon College, near Bulawayo.” This significant development represents a leap forward in sustainable energy solutions for educational institutions in the region.
The new solar facility ensures that Falcon College, which has a reputation for academic excellence and a vibrant campus life, can rely on a consistent and cost-effective power supply to support its thriving classrooms, dormitories, and sports fields. The benefits of this solar plant are multi-fold. Not only does it promote environmental sustainability by harnessing renewable energy, but it also reduces dependence on conventional electricity sources, which can be unreliable and costly.
The investment in solar power allows Falcon College to allocate more of its budget to educational resources and student activities rather than utility expenses. As the college continues to grow, the renewable energy solution promises to play a crucial role in meeting its increasing power demands.
Cicada Solar, a subsidiary of Cicada Africa, stands at the forefront of renewable energy solutions in the region. With a commitment to sustainable development, the company specializes in designing, financing, and operating solar power plants that meet the diverse energy needs of various sectors.
According to the announcement, “Cicada Solar has also financed and will operate and maintain the solar plant, so our partnership with Falcon has just begun.” This collaboration not only ensures ongoing support and maintenance for the solar facility but also establishes a long-term commitment to sustainability at Falcon College.
Through this initiative, Cicada Africa reinforces its role as a key player in the African renewable energy landscape, promoting eco-friendly practices while empowering educational institutions to thrive. As more organizations recognize the advantages of solar energy, the future looks bright for both Cicada Solar and its partners.
