Chad currently has about 314 MW of installed generation capacity to serve a population of over 15 million people. As a result, Chad’s government is working to expand its electricity supply and encourage investment in the energy sector to stimulate the economy.
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.
“The Bank’s support strategy for access to energy in Chad is based on a two-pronged approach: off-grid electrification led by the private sector to rapidly boost access and national grid-based electrification by SNE, which is strategically important,” said Clara de Sousa, Country Director for Burkina Faso, Chad, Mali, and Niger.
“With private sector participation, this project aims to increase electricity access from the current rate from about 6% to 30% by 2027 for approximately one million households,” added Rasit Pertev, World Bank Country Manager for Chad.
WASHINGTON, March 24, 2022 – The World Bank today approved a $295 million grant from the International Development Association (IDA)* to help Chad expand its access to energy.
The Chad Energy Access Scale Up Project (PAAET) aims to increase access to electricity and clean cooking solutions via expansion of the main power grid and mini-grids, standalone solar systems, deployment of improved stoves, and natural resource management.
