Long-term investment in solar energy at Borana, Kenya

Borana Lodge is now home to a 74 KW solar farm, powered by over 28 solar modules. As part of Borana’s commitment to the Long Run, the Conservancy is actively reducing its carbon footprint and looking at alternative sources of energy. The solar farm allows for 240V power and is available 24 hours a day. Any excess energy generated during the day is stored in 72 deep cycle batteries for use at night.
