Seychelles is set to make a significant leap in renewable energy with the launch of its first floating solar farm, which will be the largest in Africa by its completion in mid-2025. Spanning 32 hectares of the lagoon at Providence, this ambitious project is a collaboration between Seychelles’.
Paris & Mahé, 30 September 2025 – Independent renewable energy company Qair has officially launched construction of the Seysun Lagoon Floating PV plant, an ambitious 5.8 MW project located in the Providence Lagoon on Mahé Island. The ceremony was held in the presence of Flavien Joubert, Minister of.
French renewable energy company Qair has secured a $5.7 million (approximately € 4.8 million) senior debt facility from the Facility for Energy Inclusion (FEI), managed by Cygnum Capital, to finance the development, construction, and operation of a 5.8 MWp floating solar plant in Providence Lagoon.
The much-anticipated 5MW Floating Independent Power Producer (IPP) Photovoltaic (PV) project in the Providence Lagoon is poised to commence in the coming weeks, following the formal signing of project documents between the Government of Seychelles and renewable energy developer Qair. First.
The Ile de Romainville Solar Park is a 5-megawatt (MW) solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant with battery storage in the Republic of Seychelles. The project includes an energy storage system with a capacity of 5MW and 3.3 megawatt-hours (MWh), allowing for the safe and stable supply of electricity.
