Premier Energies has won contracts worth $19.95 million for supply and installation of solar power systems in the Republic of Benin, West Africa.
Premier Energies is a Telangana-based company that manufactures and supplies photovoltaic cells, also known as solar cells. They also provide Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) solutions to solar power plants.
The deets: under the contract, the company will install 750 rooftop solar systems, 4,400 solar streetlights, and 650 solar water heaters. These will be installed at socio-community facilities, health centres, educational institutions, and border surveillance units.
The contract is part of a broader initiative by the Government of Benin to expand clean energy access.
Zoom out: the move solidifies India’s competence in delivering high quality solar solutions abroad.
The growth of India’s solar exports remains modest at the rate of 26.1% to $267.6 million in the first quarter of 2025. However, with the government's push to develop the sector, a quick turnaround could be soon expected.
