Tender for 32 MW solar project subcontractors in Chad

• The scheduled power plant notes the initial phase of a 60 MW scheme 30km north of the funding, N'Djamena. The total project is being established by UK-based Private Infrastructure Development Group as well as French company Smart Energies International.

A tender looking for a design business for a prepared 32 MW solar plant in Chad has been published by UK-based Private Infrastructure Development Group (PIDG).

Specialists have until July 31 to send propositions for the tender.

The Chadian solar plant is the first stage of the 60 MW Djermaya Solar project being created by the Aldwych Africa Developments Limited unit of U.K.-based InfraCo Africa Limited-- itself part of PIDG-- as well as French renewables developer Smart Energies International SAS.

Djermaya Solar is prepared 30km north of Chadian funding N'Djamena and safeguarded a 25-year power supply deal with utility Société Nationale d'Electricité in a different purchase workout. The African Development Bank is backing the project with an EUR18 million loan as well as partial threat guarantee.

It is estimated only 6.4% of the Chadian population has access to reputable electrical energy as well as the country had only 1 MW of solar generation ability at the end of last year, according to International Renewable Energy Agency numbers. The U.S. Agency for International Development estimates the landlocked country has just 125 MW of complete power generation ability, with the majority of it diesel as well as hefty gas oil which mainly offers N'Djamena.
