In Chad, Power Africa transaction advisory and technical assistance helped secure a $20.6 million (€18 million) loan to bring the 42 MW Djermaya Solar project, one of the largest in the region, to financial close.

Once online in 2023, Djermaya is expected to power 60,000 households, reduce the cost of electricity generation, and improve access to cleaner energy. Power Africa’s guidance to African Development Bank on tariff approaches will enable the Djermaya plant to produce electricity at a cost that is 40 percent less than existing sources.

The Djermaya project will also partially replace heavy fuel thermal generation in Chad, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by about 38 million tons of CO2 equivalent per year. READ MORE on our blog
