- UAE-based Global South Utilities (GSU) has started construction on the 50MW solar PV project in Sakaï, Central African Republic.
- The project also includes a 10 megawatt-hour battery energy storage system (BESS) to enhance grid stability and ensure continuous power availability.
“For the Central African Republic, this project will play a key role in expanding energy access to communities across the country,” said Ali Alshimmari, Managing Director and CEO of GSU. “It represents another milestone in our commitment to delivering clean, scalable energy solutions in places that others may see as difficult – but which we view as gateways to opportunity and sustainable growth.”
The Sakaï solar project follows the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) signed between the UAE and CAR in March 2025, which aims to deepen bilateral trade and investment across key sectors.
