Renewable energy firm Daystar Power Group has expanded its installed solar capacity across West Africa through a partnership with Nestlé, bringing total deployments to 6,884 kilowatt-peak (kWp), or nearly 7 megawatts (MW), in what the company describes as one of the largest commercial and industrial solar partnerships in the region.
Four manufacturing facilities across Nestlé sites in Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana and Senegal are now operational, with installations located in Abidjan, Tema and Dakar.
Daystar Power has installed 3,447 kWp across two sites in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire. In Ghana, a 2,547 kWp system powers Nestlé's Tema factory, while in Senegal an 890 kWp installation operates at the Dakar facility.
The company said each system is designed to deliver measurable environmental impact, including reduced greenhouse gas emissions and improved energy resilience.
The installations are tailored to local operational and grid conditions to ensure reliable renewable energy supply while supporting Nestlé's net-zero ambitions and its commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
"Nearly 7MW across four Nestlé facilities is a number we are proud of, but what it represents matters more than the figure itself. It means that one of the world's most demanding manufacturers has tested our model, trusted it, and come back. Our job now is to keep earning that across every market where industry needs energy it can count on," said Yischai Beinisch, CEO of Daystar Power Group.
Samer Chedid, CEO of Nestlé Central and West Africa Region, said: "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."
