Today, on July 2, USAID launched a 52.32-kilowatt rooftop solar panel system in Almaty! USAID’s Power Central Asia Activity installed 96 solar panels atop Talud Shopping Center, which provided co-financing for the project. The solar panel array will reduce electricity costs and eliminate 60,445 kg carbon dioxide emissions annually, the equivalent of planting 2,747 trees. USAID’s Acting Regional Mission Director for Central Asia, Monique Mosolf, led the handover ceremony.
Through efforts like this, USAID continues to support clean energy development, enhance energy security, and promote environmental sustainability.
