People and emissions
estimate when operating · not people connectedAbout 190 to 223 GWh a year at a 50% capacity factor (AEI technology benchmark).
Enough electricity for about 2.3 million to 2.7 million people at Malawi's average use of 84 kWh a person (2024).
About 12,000 tonnes of CO2 a year avoided if it displaces average grid generation (55 g/kWh, 2024).
Grid power also serves business and industry, so the people figure is a comparison, not a count of connections. Sources: AEI capacity-factor benchmarks, Ember electricity data (CC-BY-4.0), World Bank population.
