The Noor Chad solar project, developed by Global South Utilities, is Chad's first utility-scale solar power plant with integrated battery storage. Situated near N'Djamena, it features a 50 MWp solar photovoltaic plant and a 5 MWh battery system, intended to stabilize power supply and decrease dependence on costly diesel imports.

The plant will provide renewable electricity to about 274,000 homes and is projected to reduce carbon emissions by over 1.36 million tonnes. The project, completed ahead of schedule, is part of Chad's 'Chad Connection 2030' initiative to enhance electricity access.
