Algeria officially inaugurated a 40-megawatt power plant project in N’Djamena on Monday, June 8, aimed at boosting electricity supply across Chad. The foundation stone ceremony brought together Algerian Prime Minister Sifi Ghrieb and Chadian Prime Minister Allamaye Halina.
This power station is a gift from Algeria to Chad, ordered by President Abdelmadjid Tebboune. The initiative reflects Algeria’s commitment to deepening economic ties and advancing infrastructure development across Africa.
The facility, built by Sonelgaz International, will run on modern gas turbines. It is expected to add much-needed capacity to meet rising electricity demand in the Chadian capital and surrounding areas. Chadian officials have marked power generation expansion as a top priority given growing needs from households, industries, and services.
A broader African strategy
According to the Algerian premier, this project embodies a wider vision of African integration and shared progress. He noted that it stems from commitments made during Chadian President Mahamat Idriss Déby Itno’s official visit to Algeria in April 2026.
Beyond this power plant, Algeria highlights its involvement in several regional projects spanning infrastructure, transport, and telecommunications. The Algerian government views energy investment as a key driver of stability and development across the continent.
Once operational, the plant should strengthen Chad’s power grid and deliver more consistent electricity to homes and businesses.
