Chad - Electricity Sector Support Project in Chad (PASET) — Chad

Overview

PASET is in line with “the Chad we want” 2030 vision which is structured around four thrusts: (i) consolidating national unity; (ii) strengthening good governance and the rule of law; (iii) developing a diversified and competitive economy; and (iv) improving the quality of life of the Chadian population. The Bank's intervention is justified by the need to support Chad in its efforts to gradually emerge from economic and social fragility by helping to address the energy crisis. Thus, this intervention will make it possible to help Chad in the implementation of reforms and the building of infrastructure to address the main constraints and challenges facing the electricity sub-sector. The project builds on previous interventions by the Bank and other TFPs, such as the Chad-Cameroon Interconnection (PIRECT) and boosts their positive impacts. It is divided into three (3) components: i) Service Quality Improvement; ii) Governance Improvement; and iii) Project Administration and Management. PASET comes with an innovative element through the sub-component which involves the hybridisation of the three isolated centres in Bol, Bongor and Biltine. The total project cost, excluding taxes and customs, is currently estimated at UA 16.539 million. This project primarily contributes to climate mitigation results. As such, 100% of the total approved amount is attributed as climate finance, of which 100% is dedicated to mitigation.
