For Madagascar, the third African country to join Scaling Solar, a new 30-40 megawatt solar facility will help ease daily interruptions of power service. This island nation suffers from frequent power outages, and under one-third of the population has access to electricity.
In the World Bank Group’s Doing Business Report, Madagascar was ranked 187 out of 189 countries regarding the difficulty, delay, and cost of getting electricity. The planned Scaling Solar project will provide a reliable alternative to expensive diesel generators, drawing on an abundant renewable energy source.
