Nocart Oy has signed a supply contract for the delivery of a 30–40 MW solar hybrid power plant to Zambia. The contract is for the first part of a 100MW solar hybrid power plant to supply power to a sugarcane plantation in Zambia’s Shang’ombo district.

Through this supply contract Nocart is helping this sugar cane plantation grow production without increasing CO2 emissions or putting more stress on valuable water resources.” Visit: www.nocart.com
