The European Union, the French Development Bank and the government of Niger co-financed the installation. A French consortium made up of Akuo and Sagecom has finished building a 30 MW solar power plant in Gorou Banda, Niger. The Niger government had initially planned the project to have a capacity of 50 MW.
Niger was one of the first countries across the world to consider renewable energy technologies as a solution to its energy needs. This dates back to the 1960s, when Niger set up the Solar Energy Office (Office de l’Energie Solaire – ONERSOL), later renamed the National Solar Energy Centre (Centre National d'Énergie Solaire – CNES).
Niamey and Zinder, located at lower latitudes, show less variability across the year, hence making them excellent locations for harnessing solar energy. There is a long history of solar energy use in Niger. This began in the mid-1960s when the Centre National d'Énergie Solaire (National Solar Energy Centre; CNES) was established.
You will find one or a combo of these sources of electricity in every Nigerian home. Solar Energy is fast becoming the new normal when it comes to an alternative source of power supply in Nigeria, and it rightly lives up to its claim of providing a constant source of power supply at an affordable price.

Solar PV and other solar energy technologies continued to be promoted in Niger through various outlets, including the national school television programme. Solar technology installation also contin-ued, largely in PV pumping areas and through education and health infrastruc-ture electrification.
