The African Development Bank has approved a loan of EUR18-million (US$19.7 million) and a Partial Risk Guarantee (GPR), for the construction of the Djermaya solar power station in Chad.
The construction and operation of the photovoltaic farm, with a maximum capacity of 32 MW, is planned 30 km north of N'Djamena. The development includes a 33kV overhead transmission line, two 33 / 90kV transformers at the Lamadji substation and a 4 MWh battery system for network stabilization.
The project will reduce carbon emissions by 38,000 tons of CO2 per year, in line with the country's commitments.
The solar hybrid is being developed by a consortium consisting of Aldwich International Ltd and Smart Energies, as well as Infraco as shareholder.
