SolarGroup and Celestial Solar...

The SolarGroup (TSG), a leading renewable energy development firm, and Celestial Solar International (CSI), a premier solar infrastructure provider operating across the African continent, today announced a transformative strategic partnership aimed at developing large-scale solar energy projects throughout Africa. This alliance will focus on deploying utility-scale solar farms ranging from 50 megawatts (MW) to 550 MW, bringing unprecedented sustainability, reliability, and stability to local power grids while catalyzing economic growth across the region.

The partnership leverages TSG’s extensive financial resources and technical capabilities with CSI’s established regional relationships and on-the-ground expertise to address Africa’s critical energy infrastructure needs. Together, the companies will develop a pipeline of solar projects designed to deliver clean, affordable electricity to residential, commercial, and industrial customers while reducing dependence on costly and environmentally harmful fossil fuel generation.

“This partnership represents a massive leap forward for grid stability in the region,” said Mike Thompson, President of The SolarGroup. “By combining The SolarGroup’s resources with Celestial Solar International’s relationships, we are unlocking gigawatts of potential.”

The collaboration addresses a critical moment in Africa’s energy transition, as nations across the continent seek to modernize aging infrastructure, expand electricity access, and meet growing demand from rapid urbanization and industrial development. By deploying proven solar photovoltaic technologies at utility scale, the TSG-CSI partnership will provide dispatchable, cost-competitive power that strengthens energy security while advancing climate goals.

Mr. Paul De-Sosoo, Technical Director of Celestial Solar International, emphasized the comprehensive impact of the partnership: “CSI’s partnership with SolarGroup enables the delivery of scalable, cost-efficient, and secure energy solutions that power residential and commercial sectors, stimulate industrial expansion, and support long-term economic development across Africa, while advancing environmental sustainability.”

Beyond environmental benefits, the partnership is expected to generate significant economic opportunities in host communities. Large-scale solar installations create employment in construction, engineering, operations, and maintenance, while providing industrial and manufacturing clients with stable, predictable energy costs that enhance competitiveness.
