Daystar Power Scales Nestlé Solar Infrastructure to 6.8 Megawatts
Nearly 7 megawatts of solar capacity now hum across four Nestlé manufacturing plants in Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, and Senegal. This expansion marks a deepening partnership between the regional food giant and energy provider Daystar Power, signaling a shift toward localized, resilient power grids for industrial production in West Africa.
Yischai Beinisch, CEO of Daystar Power Group, pointed to the partnership’s evolution from a single pilot installation to a multi-country infrastructure project as a validation of their business model. For Nestlé, the transition serves as a core component of its net-zero commitments. Samer Chedid, CEO of Nestlé Central and West Africa, stated that the projects are designed to embed sustainability into the company’s growth while creating long-term value for local communities through improved energy reliability.
