Solar power project brings electricity to Rural Madagascar villages
Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
The Agence de développement de l’électrification rurale (ADER) and project partners inspected new solar power installations in Satrokala and Andiolava, located in the Ihorombe region of Madagascar.
The project provides electricity to more than 240 people, including households, small businesses, traders, and public services. Tozzi Green Madagascar developed the infrastructure, which includes a distribution network spanning approximately five kilometers.
The system has a production capacity of 856 kilowatts-crête and aims to provide continuous power 24 hours a day and seven days a week. Authorities say the electricity will help residents pump water for homes and farming while allowing producers to process agricultural goods. Small entrepreneurs can also use the power to run equipment, extend their working hours, and expand their services to the local community. The initiative is a public-private partnership between the Malagasy State and Tozzi Green Madagascar.
The project also receives support from the DECIM fund, which is part of a project financed by the World Bank Group. The next step involves officially starting the operations of the solar plants.
