Solar energy shines in Chad
Djermaya Solar, with its EU-AITF support approved in September 2016, will be developed in two phases: the first will construct 30MW of installed capacity, with power first becoming available to Chad''s national grid in 2018-19; the second will construct another 30MW, taking total installed capacity to 60MW, which may be implemented as soon as
Solar energy in Chad: InnoVent installs 5 MW solar power plant
The solar farm is currently made up of 360 bi-face panels of 365 WC of unit power, 3,240 polycrystalline panels of 335 WC of unit power, 40 trackers, 10 inverters of 100 kW each and a delivery station (PDL) of 1,250 kVA. Between the substation and the SNE source station, 8 km of connection were made in trenches to meet local constraints.
Working together to light the way for renewable energy in Chad
The Djermaya Solar project will develop 60MW of solar PV in two phases, gradually integrating renewable power into Chad''s national grid. By establishing a cross-sector Task-Force, this project is drawing on both public and private sector expertise to rapidly develop a solution that is bankable and aligned with the Government of Chad''s
Solar panels in Chad
The sun will illuminate the future of the youth of N''Djamena, in Chad. Thanks to a project funded by the MAGIS Foundation, some solar panels will be installed on the roof of the Loyola Cultural Centre (LCC). These, thanks to the continuous solar irradiation of those latitudes, will provide electricity to the facility throughout the day.

6 FAQs about [Chad solar panel roofing]
Will a solar power plant save money in Chad?
The solar photovoltaic plant at Djermaya, 30km north of N’Djamena, the capital, “will be the first utility-scale renewable energy project and will be the first privately owned, financed and managed power plant in Chad. It will generate significant savings for the country,” Pacquement explains.
Will Chad's first solar power plant be built in Abéché?
In this unfavourable context, the French renewable energy firm InnoVent is developing Chad’s first solar power plant in Abéché. The pilot phase of the plant (1 MW) was built between mid-2020 and November 2021, with soldiers providing security for both personnel and equipment.
Does Chad have a solar plant?
In Chad only 1 in 20 people have electricity. But the Central African country has lots of sun. A UK company is developing the first solar plant in one of the world’s poorest places. Robert Pacquement and the Djermaya Solar development team do not shy away from a challenge.
Can a UK company develop a solar plant in Chad?
A UK company is developing the first solar plant in one of the world’s poorest places. Robert Pacquement and the Djermaya Solar development team do not shy away from a challenge. His Djermaya Solar development team has worked with Chad’s government for the past three years to support an ambitious solar project. It is vital work.
Why is energy a problem in Chad?
This precarious energy situation hinders socio-economic development and affects quality of life, especially in Chad’s second largest city, Abéché. With 80,000 inhabitants, Abéché is not connected to the national grid and has struggled to develop its infrastructure due to security challenges.
Why is electricity so important in Chad?
It is vital work. Electricity is scarce, expensive and unreliable in Chad with the current energy system reliant on biomass fuels such as wood and animal dung.
