Kamoa Copper inaugurates 60 MW of solar power with storage, a model for decarbonizing mining

Kamoa Copper SA inaugurated two solar plants paired with battery storage, providing 60 MW of continuous baseload electricity to the Kamoa-Kakula mining complex in partnership with CrossBoundary Energy and Green World Energie. The ceremony was attended by Water Resources and Electricity Minister Aimé Sakombi Molendo, presidential special envoy Isabelle Kibassa, and Lualaba Governor Fifi Masuka Saini, among other officials. CrossBoundary Energy’s installation includes 233 MW-peak of solar panels and 526 MWh of storage; it is expected to generate at least 300,000 MWh of renewable electricity annually and avoid more than 78,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions. Kamoa Copper says the power will keep essential operations running after sunset while reducing the carbon footprint of its copper production.

Baringo Residents Demand Halt to Ksh50 Million Shrine Project, Citing Environmental Fears

Residents of Morop Hill in Baringo County protested on October 28 against a Ksh50 million pilgrimage shrine project. They say preparations began without adequate public participation or the submission of an environmental impact assessment to NEMA. The project reportedly includes a 15- to 30-metre cross, a chapel and tourism facilities, which residents fear could damage the ecosystem and threaten about 15 natural springs. They are calling for the project to be halted, citing the hill’s cultural and historical importance to the Tugen community.

Families brace for a fourth winter of wind, rain and floods in Gaza’s camps

Displaced Palestinians in Gaza are facing a fourth winter without adequate shelter, as coastal winds, rain and temperatures that can fall to 7°C threaten their tents and makeshift homes. Mohammed al-Jamal, 60, is trying to secure his family’s worn-out tent in a displacement camp on Gaza City’s western coast, but cannot afford a replacement tarpaulin costing 120 to 150 shekels. Displaced several times since October 2023, he lives in these conditions with about 30 members of his extended family, whose living space is flooded by rain and whose few belongings are at risk. He says every storm tears apart their repairs, forcing them to start over.
