he financing will enable the deployment of ZIZ’s photovoltaic solar power access solutions in cities, territories and for business.

The UNDP is funding the project with more than $3 million, or about 1.8 billion CFA francs.

This financial boost will be used to deploy the American company in Chad.

The devices use batteries made in New York and are adapted for rural electrification in Sub-Saharan Africa, OPIC said last week.

In Chad only 1 in 20 people have electricity. But the Central African country has lots of sun. A UK company is developing the first solar plant in one of the world’s poorest places.
