Chad has 120 MW of utility-scale solar and wind capacity in operation across 23 tracked facilities, ranking #120 of 222 countries in this atlas.

Solar dominates: 100% of the operating capacity (120 MW) comes from solar parks, against 0 MW of wind.

The pipeline is substantial: 60 MW under construction and 430 MW in pre-construction or announced, equal to 408% of today’s operating fleet.

About 110 MW (92%) of the operating capacity started up in 2021 or later; the busiest year was 2025, with 85 MW commissioned.

The largest concentrations are in N'Djamena (50 MW), Klessoum (35 MW), Chari-Baguirmi (15 MW).
