Chad’s telecom sector struggles with unreliable electricity and fuel shortages, threatening network stability. ARCEP recommends hybrid power systems combining diesel generators and solar panels to improve service. Dependence on Cameroon’s bandwidth and infrastructure adds risks to Chad’s telecom connectivity.

The World Bank today approved $170 million to help Chad improve connectivity, logistics, and value chains. The project includes building solar-powered trade and agricultural logistics facilities, like warehouses and markets, to support women in Bol, Bagasola, and other regions.

The project plans to develop an area of irrigated farmland with comprehensive water management covering 240 hectares, including the installation of a solar-powered pumping station. This will comprise a PVC pressurized water transport network.

The Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) has commissioned a new solar-powered borehole with a 10-cubic-meter tank capacity to provide clean water to the Litri community in Chad, situated about 5 kilometres from the Nigerian border.

A community in Chad is celebrating the installation and official inauguration of a solar PV (photovoltaic) mini-grid system with battery storage. The standalone ground-mounted 78 kWp PV mini-grid system is equipped with a 324kWh battery bank storage.

A PV solar mini-grid has been installed in Chad with a distribution line that extends into communities far from the main power grid. The standalone mini-grid is a 78 kWp, groundmounted solar PV system with 324 kWh of battery bank storage.

Ziz Energie obtains a new loan for the installation of its solar mini-grids in Chad. The €1.5 million loan is being provided by Proparco, a subsidiary of the French Development Agency (AFD) group, to support the development of Ziz Energie’s activities in Chad.

The Emirati humanitarian team is continuing to provide relief support to Sudanese refugees and the local community through field visits to several villages near Amdjarass.
