“Since Liz and I first established Cheli & Peacock in 1985, sustainable tourism and genuine environmental responsibility have been at the heart of all we do. We seek to set the ‘green agenda’ in Kenya and are immensely proud that Tortilis Camp is now 100% solar. It is the first camp of a substantial size in Kenya – if not all of Africa – to operate 100% on solar power, 24 hours/day. For some time we’ve wanted to make the move to solar but the costs involved were prohibitive. Working with NVI Energy on this venture has not only made the switch financially viable but immensely satisfying, as we can now harness Amboseli’s wonderful sunshine to best effect.”
“Climate change remains an ever-pressing need. We are pleased that, through the Technical Assistance Facility of the GCPF, we were able to contribute to the success of this promising project. It perfectly fits into our overall objectives to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions in the world’s fastest-growing economies in a lasting, sustainable way. We look forward to further expanding our coverage and are dedicated to continue delivering on our objectives.”
“With a project like this behind us, we are closer to demonstrating the importance of a platform, like Solar4Africa, to pull together all of the ingredients needed for a solar project. We bring together interested power users, equipment, design and installation firms and capital. Through standardisation we are able to deliver first class solar systems that are affordable to the power user, profitable to the installer and financially viable for private sector funding.
We are extremely grateful for GCPFs support to date and look forward to working with them on the emerging pipeline that are benefitting from successes like this.”
