System commissioning will take place later in the year in line with property development schedules.
Chief executive Scott McGregor, said: “We are pleased to announce our first unit sales into Africa. This is a core growth area for the commercial sale of our energy storage systems and we believe RedT’s units will help the continent unlock the potential of its renewable energy sources to provide firm power, bringing increased energy security to Africa.”
