尼日尔的第一座太阳能公园近日投入运营，该国总理Brigi Rafini和能源部长Amina Moumouni共同启动了这一设施。
根据尼日尔国有公用事业公司Nigelec发布的一份声明，这一7兆瓦的设施位于尼日尔中部附近的Malbaza。该项目在Renaissance Program Act II方案下开发，投资额为2,470万美元。建成后所发电力将出售给Nigelec，可满足Madaoua、Malbaza和Konni这三省约3万户家庭的电力需求。而印度政府为这一项目提供了支持。
这一太阳能公园是尼日尔2021年100兆瓦太阳能目标的一部分。该目标还包括一个20兆瓦的项目，以及在Dosso（10兆瓦）、Maradi（20兆瓦）、Niamey-Gorou Banda（30兆瓦）和Malbaza（13兆瓦）的另外四个太阳能电站。
此外，该国目前还有一个开发中的22兆瓦太阳能柴油混合动力发电厂，为法国开发署在今年2月份招标的项目。
尼日尔属非洲地区电力渗透率最低的国家之一。在其约两千万人口中，只有15%的人能使用电力。目前该国的发电容量仅为140兆瓦，仍然严重依赖于从邻国尼日利亚进口电力。这意味着，太阳能方案最终落实后，太阳能电力将占其总发电资产的近一半。
