Madagascar has 108 MW of utility-scale solar and wind capacity in operation across 22 tracked facilities, ranking #123 of 222 countries in this atlas.

Solar dominates: 85% of the operating capacity (92 MW) comes from solar parks, against 16 MW of wind.

The pipeline is substantial: 105 MW under construction and 598 MW in pre-construction or announced, equal to 651% of today’s operating fleet.

About 42 MW (39%) of the operating capacity started up in 2021 or later; the busiest year was 2018, with 40 MW commissioned.

The largest concentrations are in Vakinankaratra (41 MW), Mahajanga (17 MW), Toliara (16 MW).
