The agreement signed last week is in coordination with the World Bank and with the support of SN Power AS and Power Africa.

According to a news announcement, the Mpatamanga hydropower project will be competitively tendered by the Government of Malawi.

Once construction is complete, the plant will provide up to 258MW of clean energy for Malawi. Read: Hydropower accounts for largest share of installed renewable capacity
