Chad Taps Algerian Expertise to Power its Future

In a decisive move to bolster continental cooperation, Chadian Minister of Water and Energy Passalé Kanabé Marcelin is leading a high-level technical delegation to Algeria to harness the nation’s advanced energy expertise.

This strategic mission, executed under the directives of President Abdelmadjid Tebboune, centers on a landmark partnership with Sonelgaz for the construction of a 40-megawatt power plant in Chad. The visit has already seen Chadian specialists undergo intensive high-level training at specialized Algerian institutes, focusing on grid management and production engineering to ensure the seamless operational autonomy of Chad’s future energy infrastructure. From touring the state-of-the-art National Electricity System Control Center to reviewing Sonelgaz’s integrated industrial capabilities, the delegation has signaled a deep commitment to an effective, field-ready partnership.

This collaboration not only accelerates Chad’s energy development but also cements Algeria’s growing influence as a regional technological hub capable of exporting world-class engineering and management solutions across the African landscape.
