Overview
According to the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), as of May 2021, Chad's national generation capacity was 314 megawatts, nearly all of it derived from expensive "fossil fuels". At that time, the national electrification rate was 9 percent (38 percent Urban and less than 5 percent Rural).
The N'Djamena Amea Solar Power Station represents one of the first grid-ready renewable energy sources in the country. The electricity generated at this power station will be sold to Société Nationale d'Électricité du Tchad (SNE) (Chad National Electricity Company), under a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA).
Developers
This power station is under development and is owned by Amea Power, an independent power producer, active in Asia, Middle East and Africa. The Amea Power Group is headquartered in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
