Botswana aims to accelerate renewable-energy development to secure electricity supply, expand electrification and lower its carbon footprint. The government announced on November 25 that it signed several strategic agreements with investment companies from the Sultanate of Oman, including a collaboration on a 500-MW solar photovoltaic project.

Officials signed the agreements in Gaborone during a visit by an Omani delegation led by Abdulsalam bin Mohammed Al Murshidi, president of the Oman Investment Authority. The mission followed Botswana President Mokgweetsi Masisi’s trip to Oman on October 19, 2025.
