Renewables, storage deployment focus for IFC in Burkina Faso
In partnership with the Ministry of Energy and the national utility, Société Nationale d''Electricité du Burkina (SONABEL), the International Finance Corporation (IFC) has
BURKINA FASO: PPPs for the Deployment of Green Energy Storage Systems
To solve this problem, Burkina Faso wants to direct some of the funding to battery-based electricity storage systems that will meet demand after sunset. To deploy these solutions, the government will rely on the private sector, which is already behind many solar projects in the country.
Renewables readiness assessment: Burkina Faso
This renewables readiness assessment (RRA) for Burkina Faso has been developed in collaboration with the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Quarries. It identifies several drivers for the country to accelerate its energy transition.
Assessment of the potential for battery storage to provide

Burkina Faso Could Boost Renewable Energy Mix with Battery Storage
Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, October 8, 2021— Burkina Faso could drastically increase the use of renewable energy in its power mix by developing battery storage solutions through public private partnerships, according to a roadmap supported by IFC.
BURKINA FASO: PPPs for the deployment of green energy storage systems
In Burkina Faso, the government intends to accelerate the deployment of battery-based electricity storage systems in the coming years. Ouagadougou will rely on public-private partnerships (PPP). This approach is already supported by several development partners.
IRENA-ADFD-Facility-Selected-Projects-Status
Four solar plants with battery storage systems will be implemented in the island of Isla de la Juventud to serve as a source of clean energy generation for 32,300 people as well as enabling savings of USD 2.4 million annually on the costs associated with the import of fossil fuels.
Environmental impacts of a stand-alone photovoltaic system in
This study aimed to assess and compare the environmental impacts of stand-alone PV systems with storage installed in Burkina Faso. Two scenarios differing in battery technology (lead acid and lithium-ion) and two others in end-of-life management (landfill and recycling) were studied.
Energy storage integration with solar PV for increased electricity
Despite the fact that Burkina Faso is located in one of the sunniest regions, the solar contribution to national electricity consumption in 2014 was only 0.8% [4], which rose to
