Chad currently generates electricity by consuming oil. With the declining cost of new solar generation plants, the Government of Chad and development partners have prioritized solar power throughout the country. Machinery and parts for electricity transmission and distribution are also in demand. Opportunities
Chad's location in the Sahel, which features brilliant sunshine especially during the dry season, and lack of alternate fuel sources such as coal make solar power an attractive export and investment sector. Chad currently generates electricity by consuming oil.
Power Africa supports the energy sector in Chad by developing electricity generation projects and providing U.S. Embassy support to help move transactions forward. For more information, please refer to the page below, which gives an overview of the energy sector in Chad and explains Power Africa's involvement in the country.
There are also opportunities to collaborate with the Government of Chad on developing a national power strategy. In March 2019, the Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC), a U.S. Government development finance institution, committed $10 million to support the introduction of off-grid solar kits and appliances in Chad.
