Case Study: Innovative Solutions Provide Power To Port Cities In Madagascar

Keeping port city operations running is vital for all countries across the globe, but even more so for island nations. Approximately 360 kilometers (225 miles) southeast of Africa in the Indian Ocean lay Madagascar, the fourth largest island in the world and home to more than 20 million residents. The seaport cities of Mahajanga and Toliara play key roles in maintaining the economy of the country as major import/export hubs. Providing power to these business communities is crucial and allows them to function smoothly every day.
