The project to build a photovoltaic solar power plant in the Niamey region with a production capacity of 30 MW aims to meet the growing demand for electrical energy in Niger's cities. The implementation of this project will increase national production, reduce the cost of electrical energy production and promote the socio-economic development of the river zone (Niamey, Dosso and Tillabéry) of Niger.

Benefits

• Meeting the exponentially growing national demand to which the supply resulting from the interconnection with Nigeria cannot meet;
• Economic profitability justified by the existence of high voltage lines for efficient marketing to the project of all beneficiaries;
• Abundance of raw material allowing the plant to operate at full capacity throughout the year;
• Existence of a national solar energy center for expertise needs.
