Recently, Niger's first solar power plant was successfully put into operation, and Niger's Prime Minister Brigi Rafini and Energy Minister Amina Moumouni unveiled
the country's first solar power plant.
Located near Malbaza, a rural village in central Niger, the 7-megawatt facility is the result of a project developed under the Renaissance Program Act II, which is also supported
by the Indian government.
According to the local government, the $24.
7 million PV plant will meet the electricity needs
of about 30,000 households in the provinces of Madaoua, Malbaza and Konni.
The project is part of Niger's plan to deploy 100 MW of solar by 2021, including the recently announced 20 MW project, as well as four solar power plants under construction, namely Dosso (10 MW), Maradi (20 MW), Niamey-Gorou Banda (30 MW) and Malbaza (13 MW).
On top of that, the country also has a 22 MW solar-diesel hybrid power plant under construction, proposed by the French Development Agency in February this year
.
Niger currently has one of
the lowest electricity supply rates in Africa.
Of its population of about 20 million, only about 15 percent have access to electricity
.
The country still relies heavily on electricity imports from neighboring Nigeria, which has an installed capacity of just 140 megawatts
.
This means that once its solar plan is realized, it will represent nearly half of its power generation assets
