Owing to the large population size and limited access to the grid, Madagascar has a large addressable mar-ket for solar solutions with a potential customer base of 2.5 to 5 million
The Malagasy government plans to deploy 27 photovoltaic solar power plants to supply households in this Indian Ocean island country, located off the coast of East Africa.
Global South Utilities (GSU) has secured agreements with Madagascar to develop a 50 MW solar plant and a 25 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) in the island nation.
Madagascar is one of the sunniest countries in the world with more than 3,000 hours of sunshine per year, so decentralised solar power supply to rural areas is not only easier but also cheaper.
Madagascar, better known for its unique wildlife, is quietly emerging as a laboratory for solar power generation and energy storage solutions – and the results are electrifying.
