We had a major boost in our industrial district as Elon Musk’s Tesla company delivered containers of industrial grade solar power storage batteries from USA .
The batteries are part of the power upgrade process at the completed Solar power plant from 1MW to 10MW and later on to 50MW.
Tesla batteries have superior capacity to store the solar power captured by solar power panels, and feed it into the transformers. Transformers then deliver the power to the currently open 5,000 patient capacity Hamptons hospital and for other city needs. This guarantees that the power captured during the sunshine can be used 24 hours without being wasted. The delivered batteries can store thousands of Kilowatts of electricity which can run an entire City.
Mwale Medical and Technology City (MMTC) is a 100% green city that does not rely on the national grid power. The solar power plant is the main electricity source of the city . Furthermore, 3,000 solar streetlights light up over 150km of roads within MMTC.
The powerful Tesla batteries were part of the 19 shipping containers for the hospital’s smart power system that will see advanced bio nuclear equipments like PET Scans and MRIs get implemented for efficient healthcare access . This will advance Kenya’s position globally as the center of advanced healthcare.
Hamptons hospital opened in 2019 and treats Kenyans and Medical tourists. Kakamega County residents with NHIF are treated without paying extra co-payment charges.
