The battery plant to be constructed by the US Engineering and infrastructure firm KE International, has enlisted a Kenyan investor Julius Mwale as one of its key partners in the project. The City has thousands of solar streetlights with battery storage. Mwale said KE International which oversaw the construction of MMTC in Kenya will be in charge of completing the battery power plant in DRC. Mwale’s smart cities make him a key player in battery storage market due to ownership of power plants like one at MMTC. Expanding that to Electric vehicle batteries, residential and commercial storage will guarantee sustainability of smart cities worldwide.
