Daystar Power Group says it has installed 6.884 megawatts of solar power capacity across four Nestlé manufacturing facilities in West Africa, covering sites in Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana and Senegal.
The company disclosed this in a statement on Sunday, noting that the installations are operational at two facilities in Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, one in Tema, Ghana, and another in Dakar, Senegal.
According to the statement, the projects form part of an ongoing energy partnership between Daystar Power Group and Nestlé, bringing the total installed solar capacity across the four facilities to nearly seven megawatts.
The Chief Executive Officer of Daystar Power Group, Yischai Beinisch, said the installations reflected the company’s growing relationship with the food and beverage manufacturer.
“Nearly 7 megawatts across four Nestlé facilities is a number we are proud of,” Beinisch said.
The company stated that 3,447 kilowatts peak of solar capacity had been deployed across two facilities in Abidjan, while a 2,547kWp system was installed at Nestlé’s factory in Tema. It added that an 890kWp installation was operating at the company’s facility in Dakar.
Daystar Power said the systems were designed to support energy resilience and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, while aligning with Nestlé’s sustainability objectives.
Commenting on the development, the Chief Executive Officer of the Nestlé Central and West Africa Region, Samer Chedid, said the investment was part of the company’s sustainability strategy.
“This investment reflects our commitment to building a business that not only grows but does so responsibly. By advancing solar energy projects in Ghana, Côte d’Ivoire, and Senegal, we are embedding sustainability into our growth, reinforcing our role as a force for good, creating long-term value for communities, and ensuring that our footprint actively contributes to a cleaner, more resilient future,” Chedid said.
Daystar Power Group said it operates in Nigeria, Ghana, Côte d’Ivoire, Senegal and Togo, providing solar hybrid energy solutions to commercial and industrial customers.
