Abu-Dhabi based Global South Utilities (GSU) has inaugurated the 50 MW <\/strong>Noor Chad solar plant in Chad\u2019s capital N\u2019Djamena<\/strong> \u2014 marking the country\u2019s first utility-scale solar facility, Wam<\/a> reports. The project, which also includes a 5 MWh battery energy storage system, will supply clean energy to an estimated 274k homes and offset more than 1.36 mn tons of carbon dioxide, providing a boost to Chad\u2019s underdeveloped electricity sector and cutting reliance on imported diesel. <\/p>\n

GSU is on a mission in Africa: <\/strong>The company has <\/span>inked<\/a> two agreements with Madagascar\u2019s Energy and Hydrocarbons Ministry in July to set up a 50 MW solar plant with 25 MWh of battery storage capacity in the city of Moramanga, and develop a wider pipeline of renewable projects with a combined capacity of up to 250 MW. GSU also <\/span>started construction<\/a> on a 50 MW solar power plant coupled with a 10 MWh battery energy storage system in Central African Republic back in August.<\/span><\/p>\n

Its Asia footprint is expanding too:<\/strong> Earlier this month<\/a>, GSU commissioned its Shabwah Solar Power Plant in Yemen, with a current capacity of 53 MW and 15 MWh battery energy storage system, generating 118.6k MWh of clean electricity annually. The company also plans to expand Yemen\u2019s Aden Solar Power Plant \u2014 now in its second phase after being initially set up last month, and ultimately slated for a 240 MW capacity. GSU also acquired a 51% stake<\/a> in Uzbek solar project developer Yashil Energiya, the company\u2019s first foray into the Commonwealth of Independent States region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
