Headquartered in Zaventem (Flanders), Enerdeal is poised to supply five Madagascan cities with solar energy. Together with local partner Henri Fraise Fils (HFF), Enerdeal won a tender from Madagascan state producer and power distributor Jirama for the construction of 5 large solar parks. These include battery storage and back-up diesel generators. With a peak capacity of 1 to 1.5 megawatts each, the parks will power cities of 20,000 to 50,000 inhabitants within two years. Eventually, solar batteries will completely replace the use of diesel.
Total cost of this project: EUR 13 million. In addition to HFF’s EUR 5 million investment, the federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs is providing an export credit of EUR 8 million via Finexpo.
