Inaugurated on November 4 by President Andry Rajoelina during his visit to the town, the power plant consists of 2,022 solar panels installed on a one-hectare site.
15,000 households have already been benefiting from this facility since last July, which generates 500 kWh per day. The goal is to resolve power rationing issues and reduce electricity costs for each household as well as diesel fuel consumption, thereby saving 2 billion ariary [1] per year.

Enerdeal’s teams handled the engineering and construction of the plant, in cooperation with the local company Henri Fraise.
We are very happy and proud of this achievement in such a complex context, which brings real added value to the local population. When CSR and entrepreneurship come together...
