UAE backs Moon with three solar stations
The Union of the Comoros launched three solar power stations with a total area of approximately 20 megawatts, funded by the Abu Dhabi Development Fund with a value of around 84.4 million dirhams. These stations are distributed across Grand Comore Island, Anjouan, and Moheli. The project aims to reduce dependence on imported fuel, which accounted for 91% of the energy mix in 2024. It is expected to generate about 33.75 gigawatt-hours of clean electricity annually, enough to power approximately 17,500 homes, and to reduce around 20,900 tons of carbon dioxide emissions each year. The project also includes energy storage systems with a capacity of 16 megawatt-hours, along with an electric grid, in a step to enhance the reliability and sustainability of Comoros' energy system and to strengthen its capacity to respond to the increasing demand for electricity. This supports sustainable development and bolsters the relations between the two countries.
