‘Run of river’ hydroelectric project, supplying electricity to surrounding rural villages and the national grid.
AgDevCo’s investment is financing the development of the 1 MW Suma Hydro ‘run of river’ hydroelectric project.

Overall it is expected the project will benefit over 6,000 individuals directly and up to 12,000 individuals indirectly through the provision of reliable power.
