Daystar Power Group has expanded its renewable energy partnership with Nestlé in West Africa, commissioning solar power systems with a combined capacity of 6.884 megawatts across four manufacturing facilities in Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, and Senegal.
According to a statement, the deployments bring the total installed capacity across Nestlé’s sites to 6,884 kWp, nearly 7 megawatts, making it one of the largest commercial and industrial solar partnerships in the region.
The four sites, two in Abidjan, one in Tema, and one in Dakar, are all fully operational, with each system designed around the specific grid and operational profile of its location.
“Nearly 7 megawatts 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,” Mr Yischai Beinisch, CEO, Daystar Power Group said in a statement.
The partnership began with a single commissioning and expanded to span three countries and four facilities. In Côte d’Ivoire, Daystar Power has delivered 3,447 kWp across two Abidjan sites. In Ghana, a 2,547 kWp system powers Nestlé’s Tema factory. In Senegal, an 890 kWp installation operates at the Dakar facility.
The company said each system is sized and configured to deliver measurable environmental and social impact, including reduced greenhouse gas emissions and improved energy resilience. The design is tailored to the operational and grid conditions at each location, ensuring reliable, clean energy access while supporting local development and aligning with Nestlé’s publicly stated net-zero commitments.
Adding his input, Mr Samer Chedid, CEO, Nestlé Central and West Africa Region, said the investment reflects its 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,” he said.
