    Phakalane Power Station is a photovoltaic pilot power plant located in Phakalane, Botswana. The power station was funded through a Japan ese grant which was part of Prime Minister Hatoyama's initiative[2][3] strategy called Cool Earth Partnership aimed at supporting developing countries in their efforts to combat global warming.[4] The Cool Earth Partnership is part of the initiatives which saw Hatoyama win the Sustainable Development Leadership Award in 2010.[5]
