Daystar Power Reaches 6.8 Megawatts of Installed Solar Capacity For Nestlé Across West Africa

Daystar Power Group has revealed that it has expanded its energy partnership with Nestlé across West Africa, with solar installations now operational at four manufacturing facilities spanning Côte
d’Ivoire, Ghana, and Senegal.

Communicated in a statement recently, the Chief Executive Officer, Daystar Power Group, Yischai Beinisch, said that the deployment bring the total installed capacity across Nestlé’s sites to 6,884 kWp, making it one of the largest commercial and industrial solar partnerships in the region.

Beinisch added that 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,” he said.

The partnership, he said, 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.

“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,” he said.

In his remarks, Chief Executive Officer, Nestlé Central and West Africa Region, Samer Chedid, explained that the investment in solar reflects the company’s 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.
