Africa Energy Futures Cote dIvoire | DLA Piper
The Côte d''Ivoire government has announced that a lithium-ion battery energy storage system will be installed at the first-ever mega solar project in the country.
The solar power plant is then expected to be the largest in West Africa. The further expansion of solar energy in Côte d'Ivoire will primarily be realised by private investors. The successful project in Boundiali demonstrates to them that large solar projects are technically and financially feasible in similar countries.
Cooperation with Côte d'Ivoire is to be further intensified within a climate and development partnership. The aim is to support energy transition towards more renewable energies in the West African country and to further expand its role as a net electricity exporter to enhance security of supply in West Africa.
In Boundiali in the north of Côte d'Ivoire, the country's first solar power plant has now been inaugurated by Ivorian Prime Minister Beugré Mambé and German Parliamentary State Secretary Bärbel Kofler. The power plant has already been providing up to 37 megawatts of power since June 2023.
The clean electricity generated in this way can supply 35,000 households, benefiting around 150,000 people. The new plant will save 35,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions every year - an important contribution to climate protection. The solar power plant is regarded as a model project for the expansion of solar energy in Côte d'Ivoire.
"We also endeavoured to create employment for the local population," emphasises KfW Project Manager Clara Winkler-Tomety. During the construction phase, 75% of the workers came from the region. The new solar power plant in Côte d'Ivoire is helping to achieve the goals of German development cooperation in the expansion of renewable energies.
In the vast landscape of West Africa, silver sparkles in the sun: sustainable electricity is produced here with almost 70,000 solar modules.
