Why is Burkina Faso launching a solar power plant in Komsilga?

Loading... In a significant step towards enhancing electricity supply and sustainable development, Burkina Faso signs an agreement for a 50 MWp solar power plant in Komsilga. The initiative, led by the Minister of Energy and Energie Plus, aims to fortify renewable energy contributions, fostering economic growth and improved access to electricity.

Is Burkina Faso suitable for solar power projects?

This suitability assessment was carried out at the request of the Government of Burkina Faso to map potential areas for utility-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind projects. Currently, less than 25% of the population has access to electricity and the majority of those with access live in urban areas.

Will a 50 MWp solar power plant bolster Burkina Faso's electricity supply strategy?

In a pivotal move to bolster Burkina Faso’s electricity supply strategy, the Minister of Energy, Mines, and Quarries, Simon-Pierre BOUSSIM, and Serge CONSEIGA, General Director of Energie Plus, sealed an agreement for the construction of a 50-megawatt peak (50 MWp) solar power plant in the commune of Komsilga, Burkina Faso.

What is Wärtsilä doing in Burkina Faso?

Wärtsilä has delivered a 15 MWp solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant to the independent power producer (IPP) Essakane Solar SAS in Burkina Faso. The solar PV plant was constructed next to a 55 MW Wärtsilä power plant running on heavy fuel oil. The engine power plant provides backup, while the solar farm produces energy during the day.

Can Burkina Faso achieve 95% electricity access?

The country aims to reach 95% electricity access, with 50% in rural areas and universal access to clean cooking solutions in urban areas, with 65% in rural areas by 2030, up from 9% in 2020. The utilisation of Burkina Faso’s renewable resource potential would enable the country to reduce its heavy reliance on thermal generation and energy imports.

What is the largest engine-solar PV hybrid power plant in Africa?

The solar PV plant and the engine power plant are controlled and operated in synchronisation, making it the largest engine-solar PV hybrid power plant in Africa. IAMGOLD Essakane SA is the largest privately held business in Burkina Faso.
