Abu Dhabi-based developers Masdar and Global South Utilities implemented the three solar projects, located across three islands of the Comoros, alongside two battery storage systems and transmission infrastructure.
The government of Comoros has switched on three solar projects with a cumulative capacity of 20 MW.
The newly-operational sites include a 12.86 MW array on the island of Grande Comore, a 4.05 MW installation on the island of Anjouan and a 3.1 MW installation on the island of Mohéli.
Project works also encompassed the deployment of two battery storage systems with a combined capacity of 8 MW/16 MWh across Grande Comore and Anjouan, as well as approximately 30 kilometres of 20 kV transmission lines.
The projects were implemented by Abu Dhabi-based developer Masdar and managed by energy infrastructure developer Global South Utilities. They were financed by approximately AED 84.4 million ($22.9 million) by the Abu Dhabi Fund for Development.
