Description
Project Name: Sahanivotry
Project Owner: Tozzi Green
Standard: Verra VCS
Project ID: 1319
The Sahanivotry Hydropower Plant marks a historic milestone as Madagascar’s first independent hydropower project developed by a private sector company. This small run-of-river hydro plant harnesses the island’s abundant river systems to generate clean electricity, slashing reliance on costly, polluting thermal power plants and expensive imported fuels.
Aligned with the Government of Madagascar’s vision to prioritize hydropower as the country’s preferred electricity source, Sahanivotry taps into the nation’s rich network of smaller rivers. The run-of-river design minimizes environmental impact, requiring no large reservoirs while providing reliable, renewable energy. By reducing the use of fossil fuels, the plant cuts greenhouse gas emissions and strengthens Madagascar’s energy independence, paving the way for a cleaner, more resilient future.
Developed by Tozzi Green, a global leader in renewable energy solutions, Sahanivotry embodies a commitment to innovation and sustainability. Known for its forward-thinking approach, Tozzi Green blends cutting-edge technology with local expertise to create projects that drive progress. Born from a synergy of diverse experiences and cultures, Sahanivotry reflects Tozzi Green’s mission to foster economic and social growth while respecting Madagascar’s unique environment and heritage.
