Technical FAQs 4

Are there any off-grid solar energy systems in Niger?

Yes, there is considerable experience of off-grid solar energy systems in Niger. These include off-grid PV electrification, water pumping, and solar water heating systems. The main decentralised renewable energy system promoted in Niger for rural electricity is solar PV.

Who invested in solar energy in Niger?

A study on the renewable energy sector in Niger found that more than 90% of the solar PV investment was made by development partners. The country experienced a cumulative solar PV investment amounting to USD 23.89m in 2005-2010.

How has solar technology been promoted in Niger?

Solar PV and other solar energy technologies have been promoted in Niger through various outlets, including the national school television programme. Installation of solar technology has continued, particularly in PV pumping areas and through education and health infrastructure electrification.

What is the proposed price of the solar plant in Niger?

The government of Niger is negotiating a PPA for a 20 MW solar plant with a French company. However, this project is facing opposition due to the proposed price of USD 0.165/kWh, which is significantly higher than imports from Nigeria but lower than the utility domestic generation costs.
