Negotiations are currently underway between Chadian government and Dubai-based energy developer AMEA Power for the construction of a 120 MW solar plant near the capital N’Djamena. A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on the project was signed between AMEA Power and the government of Chad, local media reported. Last year, UAE-based Almaden Emirates Fortune Power signed off on an agreement with the Chadian government to develop a PV project with a generation capacity of 200 to 400MW. The same year, a consortium including InfraCo Africa and Smart Energies International signed a 25-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with the Chadian SNE for a 60 MW solar project. The Central African nation has turned to independent power producers to address a national power deficit and poor electrification rate.
