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.
The solar farm will be capable of producing 53 GWh of electricity per year, enough to supply 70,000 homes, or 500,000 people in the capital Niamey, according to the Niger government. The plant is also expected to prevent the emission of 23,000 tonnes of CO2 equivalent per year.
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.
The 50MW cpacity Gorou Banda PV solar power plant is capable of supplying 500 000 households in Niger. Equipped with 55,776 solar panels installed on a 27-hectare site located just 12 km from the capital Niamey, the plant will be operational from 25 August 2023, the planned date for connection to Niger’s national electricity grid.

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).
