For open-air installations situated at high altitudes (exceeding 2000 m), where lower air
pressure can hinder cooling, this challenge is offset by the naturally cooler temperatures
prevalent at such heights. However, it's important to note that the dielectric strength of air
diminishes as altitude increases. Fortunately, the intended location has an altitude of 6,147
feet, which ensures that there will be no adverse impact on the project's equipment and
power generation. The proposed solar PV project location is shown in the following Google
maps
Figure 01: Google map showing location of proposed solar power project.

Following a site visit carried out by the Project Task Force from Soventix, it has come to our
attention that the 42 acres of land are designated for agricultural use and are presently
under cultivation by local farmers. Before commencing any construction activities, Soventix is
committed to ensuring that the farmers have successfully harvested their crops and received
appropriate compensation. This compensation process will be executed subsequent to the
receipt of the ESIA certificate from the National Environment Management Council (NEMC),
at which point the project will be considered as being in the "Ready To Build" stage.

shall have design to tilt the solar panel for fixed tilt system as per design. The Single axis
trackers have a tilt of +/- 60 degrees. The foundation of MMS structure is based on Soil
Investigation Report. Generally, the for solarModule Mounting structure pilling method is used.

3.4. Generation assessment

There are several solar resources such as NASA-SSE, SOLARGIS, NREL, etc. The availability of
long-term ground solar radiation (GHI & DNI) data over the potential locations is one of the
major barriers towards development of solar energy projects. Hence the dependence of the
project developers and lenders is mainly towards the satellite data or interpolated data.

NASA Data: The solar radiation data are sourced from the satellite measurements. In case of
unavailability of ground data, these data are first point of reference to judge the solar potential
at any location. NASA dataset provides the satellite data of solar radiation 100 km X 100 km
spatial resolution for 22 years period. NASA data is available for any location on Earth and can
be obtained by specifying the geographic coordinates of the location.

SOLARGIS Data: SOLARGIS is the weather data and modelling tool that provides 8 km X 8 km
spatial resolution approximately for 20 years data of GHI & other climatic parameters. In
SOLARGIS weather database, numerous global and regional database have been combined and
checked for their reliability. The data is essentially collected from ground-based weather station
and supplemented with satellite data. SOLARGIS weather database comprise of several long-
term ground measurement stations in the region, calculates through corrected interpolation of
ground measurement station and pre-calculatedsatellite data.

As per above analysis, SOLARGIS database has been considered as resource for energy
generation simulation in PV Syst software.

The monthly average solar radiation on horizontal & tilted surface and sunshine duration
available at proposed project site from SOLARGIS resource is tabulated below. The SOLARGIS
7.1 resource data sheets are attached as Annexure – I.

4. Market analysis/assessment
4.1. Target markets
The project aims at improving energy generation needs in Tanzania and more importantly,
the aspirations within the Ministry of Energy (MoE) and TANESCO in achieving goals of
providing cost effective and reliable power generation and distribution within the country.
According to the Power System Master Plan 2016 Update, TANESCO planned to have a 40/60
renewable/conventional power generation mix by 2025. Eventually the Government desires
to have cost effective generation mix portfolio by taking advantage of opportunities of
available renewable energy sources. The construction of Solar Photovoltaic Power Plant
Project will substantially enhance TANESCO’s power generation and supply capabilities in the
region, which is key to the development of the Tanzanian economy. The Solar Photovoltaic
Power Plant would also serve to stabilize the grid against power fluctuations and outages
that are a major source of concern to TANESCO customers. Therefore, Soventix had prepare
a detailed Feasibility Study for construction of 5MWAC/6MWDC Solar Photovoltaic Power
Plant at Misungwi, Mwanza region.

It also originates in the interest of Ministry of Energy (MoE) and TANESCO to assess the
technical, economic, financial and environmental viability of deploying Solar photovoltaic
power plant to the power grids of TANESCO as a way to increase the installed power
generating capacity, diversify sources of generation, employing the direct transformation
into electricity of Solar radiation, a renewable sources with stable and predictable
manifestation in Tanzania, which has been well studied and characterized from energy point
of view. This project will help to decrease the dependence on fossil fuels, biomass usage and
import of power from neighbouring countries. It will strengthen the power grid of the
nearby area and will result in reduction of generation cost in the region where the Solar
Photovoltaic Power Plant will be located. It will also reduce the environmental impact due to
global warming, greenhouse gas emissions and acid rain.

4.2. Demand assessment

To assess the need and demand for this project and solution, TANESCO expert had made a site visit
to our earmarked site for development of Solar PV power project to determine whether our
proposed solar sites are located in a strategic location. It was noted that, the site is along Misasi
feeder originated at Mabuki grid substation. The current maximum demand including the proposed
area is around 9.92MW, the major load in this feeder is coming from Ihelela water pump. The voltage
profile along the line at receiving end drops around is 31.6kV which is below the nominal standard
voltage. Henceforth the proposed 5MWAC solar PV power once implemented will accelerate the
expansion of the water utility plant which is supplying water in Simiyu, Shinyanga, Mwanza, and
Tabora.

5.5. Risk analysis


Despite facing social, political, and economic challenges, Tanzania stands out as a country
that has made significant progress in promoting investments in clean energy. Consequently,
the Project is anticipated to be executed successfully with minimal exposure to risks.
Soventix has diligently worked to address and minimize any risks that could potentially

[26]
CONFIDENTIAL

impact the Project negatively. The negotiations for the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) are
focused on securing a PPA that is bankable. Given the prevailing challenges and shifts in the
energy sector, Soventix is engaging in PPA negotiations under the Feed-in Tariff (FiT) policy,
which facilitated its approval and is recognized for having more investor-friendly terms.

Furthermore, Soventix has conducted thorough studies throughout the development phase
to identify potential risks and implement effective mitigation strategies. This is exemplified
by the decision to increase the installed capacity, not only to leverage economies of scale
but also to ensure that investors achieve the highest possible returns.
