When will a battery energy storage system start in Senegal?
Construction of the battery energy storage system is expected to commence in early at the Tobène substation in Thies and is expected to become operational in . Once complete, it will be one of the largest of its kind in West Africa, and will help Senegal to avoid approximately 37,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions each year.
Is a solar energy project in Senegal the biggest in West Africa?
Work on a solar energy and battery storage project in Senegal, touted to be the biggest in West Africa once it goes live, is set to begin next month after an EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) contract for its development was recently signed. The Kolda project will encompass a 60MWp PV solar plant coupled with a 90MWh storage system.
Why is battery storage important in Senegal?
Battery storage offers incredible opportunities for Senegal to reap the benefits of renewables, while ensuring people get a secure, reliable supply of energy. We are excited to begin a promising new chapter in Senegal and further strengthen our work in the renewable energy sector.”
Can Senegal achieve its broader economic objectives?
Senegal’s significant efforts to develop its energy sector and deliver energy access to more people are laying important groundwork for the country to achieve its broader economic objectives, according to a new report from the International Energy Agency (IEA).
When will a solar power plant be built in Senegal?
“This agreement paves the way for the construction to begin in May , with the deployment of a 60MWp photovoltaic plant coupled with a 90MWh storage system.” Voltalia is to supply the PV infrastructure for the solar power plant, which will operate on Senegal’s national grid managed by SENELEC.
What is Senegal's energy strategy?
“Senegal’s energy strategy prioritises mobilising $2 billion in private investments. Recognising that achieving universal access cannot rely solely on public resources, the approach leverages private sector innovation and efficiency to meet ambitious targets,” said the World Bank.
