- Abu Dhabi Fund for Development (ADFD) marked the inauguration of a 6.3-megawatt solar power plant in the Comoros, funded with a AED25.7 million (US$7 million).
- The solar plant will provide a reliable, renewable energy source for Moroni, the capital, and nearby regions, reducing dependence on fossil fuels, cutting carbon emissions, and improving the quality of life for residents.
The solar plant will integrate with the Comoros’ national grid via medium-voltage lines, ensuring stable electricity access for the region. This project underscores the Fund’s longstanding partnership with the Comoros, which has included AED 439.4 million (US$ 119.6 million) in concessional loans and grants since 1979 to fund critical sectors such as energy, health, education, and transport.
