The government of Eritrea has received a $49.92 million grant from the African Development Bank to fund a 30 MW photovoltaic plant in the town of Dekemhare, 40 km southeast of the capital Asmara. It will be the country's first large-scale solar plant.
The Government of Eritrea is the beneficiary of the grant, and the Ministry of Energy and Mines is responsible for its implementation. Eritrea experiences inadequate, unreliable, expensive and polluting electricity supply. The available capacity is 35 MW for a peak demand of about 70 MW.
You can find information on energy production, total primary energy supply, electricity consumption, and CO2 emissions for Eritrea on the IEA homepage. For data on energy access (access to electricity, access to clean cooking, renewable energy, and energy efficiency) in Eritrea, visit the Tracking SDG7 homepage.
Part of the grant will also be allocated to technical assistance and capacity building to improve the operational performance of the grid and ensure the sustainability of the results achieved and the overall development of the Eritrean power sector.
When completed it will become the largest solar zone in the world. Financing Approval date 1 March 2023 Project name: Dekemhare 30-megawatt photovoltaic solar power plant project in Eritrea.
