Senegal: Solar + storage project leads the way in West Africa
Described as a first for West Africa, a solar PV installation with battery storage project dedicated to frequency regulation has been commissioned in Senegal. The Walo
Two new solar photovoltaic plants will be built: the 25 megawatt peak (MWp) Kael solar park in the Touba region in western Senegal and the 35 MWp Kahone solar park in the Kaolack region in central western Senegal.
The project concerns the development of a hybrid power project consisting of a 30MW ground-based photovoltaic (PV) power generation plant and a 15MW/45MWh Battery Energy Storage System in Senegal. The Project will be the first of its kind in Senegal.
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.
Reaching this milestone is a proud moment for FMO as it celebrates its second solar PV and battery storage project signed in Senegal, enabling further integration of renewable energy sources in Senegal's energy mix.
The photovoltaic systems will have an annual capacity of 60 MW and will provide green electricity to an estimated 235,000 people. The 72 MWh battery storage will help to safeguard the supply of power for up to three hours during evening peak times and increase the stability of the power grid.
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.
