What energy resources does Chad have?
The majority of its existing capacity comes from diesel, natural gas and heavy fuel oil generation. Chad is living an energy crisis that undermines its development possibilities with extremely limited electricity access (8%). The country is however rich of energy resources, including fossil fuels with strongest solar and wind energy potential.
What is the Chad energy project?
The Project will help build sustainability in the electricity sector in Chad by reducing production costs; will increase installed capacity in the country and contribute 10% of the energy supplied to the interconnected system (the equivalent of 25,000 customers).
Will a solar PV plant be a 'pioneering project' in Chad?
The European Investment Bank (EBI) described the solar PV plant as a “pioneering project” that “will help liberalise the energy sector, and mobile private investment in Chad.” It is calculated that the cost of electricity will be less than half the current cost of power following the project.
What does Djermaya solar mean for Chad?
The proposed project concerns a EUR 18 million loan as well as a Partial Risk Guarantee (GPR), for the establishment of the Djermaya solar power plant in Chad. Djermaya Solar is a key building block of the Desert to Power Initiative and is of high strategic importance for Chad.
Does Chad framework allow private investment in energy production?
Chad framework has allowed private investment in energy production since only in recent years and as of Currently only one solar IPP (Djermaya – 28MW) is active and expected to reduce power supply failures and global price fluctuation. This project is also part of the Desert To Power Initiative.
Why should we invest in solar power in Chad?
It is an opportunity to improve energy access in Chad by developing its natural solar potential. Moreover, the Project will set a precedent for PPPs in the country and create an opportunity for replication for other solar power projects on the Sahel region in the framework of the Desert to Power Initiative.
