Chad plans to raise $1.1 billion to add 886 MW of power capacity, the majority of which is expected to be solar. Chad is aiming to deploy 520 MW of new solar by the end of the decade. The target forms part of the country's national development plan, Chad Connection 2030, which launched earlier this year.
Chad's solar sector is still in its infancy. According to figures from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), the country's cumulative solar capacity stood at 2 MW at the end of last year, the same figure reported since 2021. This content is protected by copyright and may not be reused.
The electricity strand of the development program sets a goal of 886 MW of additional installed power by the end of the decade, including 520 MW of solar. The new power installations are expected to take the share of renewable energy in Chad's generation mix to between 20% and 30%, up from 9% in 2024.
Chad currently generates electricity by consuming oil. With the declining cost of new solar generation plants, the Government of Chad and development partners have prioritized solar power throughout the country. Machinery and parts for electricity transmission and distribution are also in demand. Opportunities
