Astra Energy (OTCQB: ASRE) today announced its receipt of a commitment letter from the revolutionary government of Zanzibar to supply approximately 200 acres of land by way of a 33-year renewable lease, for Astra’s proposed Zanzibar Clean and Renewable Energy Park Project (“Project”). The Project will generate 50MW of clean and renewable energy on Unguja, the largest island in the Zanzibar Archipelago and the seat of Zanzibar’s semi-autonomous government. It will comprise of 42.5 megawatts of solar generation, coupled with Astra’s proprietary Regreen waste-to-energy technology, which will generate the remaining 7.5 megawatts and consume and eliminate approximately 300 tons of municipal solid waste (“MSW”) daily. The Project will also include a battery energy storage system (BESS), a peak power source and much-needed source of grid stability for the island. “Astra conceived this unique Project to address two of Zanzibar’s most pressing issues: access to clean, reliable power and the growing problem of municipal solid waste disposal,” said Astra’s Vice President of Electrical Power Generation Tony Thompson. “The 50 megawatts of generation on Unguja, coupled with the BESS component, will drastically reduce the island’s reliance on a single 100-MW submarine cable from mainland Tanzania, which is currently its sole source of power and is routinely operated at greater than 90% of its capacity during periods of peak demand on the island. The Project’s consumption of 300 tons per day of MSW will reduce the stress on the Kibele landfill, the island’s only dedicated receptacle for waste.”
