6 FAQs about [Senegal Solar Photovoltaic Energy Storage Project]
How can solar power plants benefit Senegal?
The project estimates that more than 400 jobs in the towns benefit from the existence of the new solar power plants in Senegal. Because Senegal mainly relies on imported oil for electricity, solar power plants offer a more reliable and sustainable green energy source that costs less.
What is the largest photovoltaic plant in West Africa?
Scheduled for completion in 2026, the Kolda solar farm project stands out as the largest photovoltaic plant with BESS project in West Africa. This ambitious project will set a benchmark for the region by combining large-scale solar energy production with cutting-edge battery storage technology.
How will the energy system work in Senegal?
The system will utilise reserve energy when there are deficits, bring power and grid assets online after failures, and supply electricity to the cities in the northern part of Senegal during power outages.
How much energy has Senegal added in 6 years?
Within 6 years, Senegal has added more than 345MW of clean power, accounting for nearly a quarter of its energy mix. This is a concrete example of the impact of policy implementation prioritising progress towards net-zero and accelerating energy access to above 70%, the 12th highest in Africa.
How will eaif support Senegal's Clean Power Project?
EAIF acted as co-lender alongside the Dutch development bank FMO, to support the development of the €42m landmark project. A Euro equivalent US$1.5m capital grant extended by PIDG Technical Assistance will ensure the project is designed to maximise supply of clean power to Senegal’s grid, whilst remaining economically viable.
Why did FMO sign a flagship project in Senegal?
Huib-Jan De Ruijter, Co-Chief Investment Officer at FMO said: “ Through the signing of this flagship project, FMO is delighted to mark its continued commitment to Senegal’s vision for a sustainable energy sector.
