ISA Programme
Solar Parks
To promote, assess potential, harmonize demand, and pool resources for the rapid development of large-scale Solar Projects under the Solar Park concept.
Our Approach
Accelerating Solar Park Development
The ISA supports Member Countries in developing Solar Roadmaps and strengthening policy and regulatory frameworks for large-scale solar deployment. Through the Solar Parks Programme, ISA facilitates country assessments, pre-feasibility studies, and institutional capacity building to enable independent implementation of solar parks. The initiative also provides technical and project management support for feasibility studies, site assessments, IPP selection, agreement finalization, and project execution through to commissioning.

Twenty Member Countries, representing a combined solar capacity of approximately 7.65 GW, have joined the programme. NTPC Ltd. has been appointed as PMC for large-scale solar park projects across 12 countries, covering nearly 6.5 GW of planned capacity. Key developments include ongoing PPA negotiations for a 360 MW project in Cuba, government approval for a 400 MW project in Ethiopia, and the assessment of a floating solar project in Fiji.
Impact, Outcomes & Success Stories
Impact, Outcomes & Success Stories
ISA has prepared a Preliminary Assessment Report for 32 Member Countries, with ongoing discussions with these respective countries. The preliminary assessment report for a floating solar PV project has been shared with Egypt. Namibia, Nigeria, and Peru have also received their respective preliminary country assessment reports. Moreover, a Project Feasibility Report (PFR) has been prepared for three floating solar projects in various locations in Bangladesh, collectively amounting to a total capacity of 50 MW.
Training, Capacity Building and Knowledge Sharing
ISA, in collaboration with the West African Power Pool (WAPP) and Grid India, organized three study tours in India for 60 professionals from the West African region. Additionally, ISA provided virtual training sessions for 461 professionals from 41 countries. Discussions are underway with the East African Power Pool (EAPP) and Grid India to organize three study tours in India for 60 participants from the East African region.
