Technical FAQs 4

When will a battery energy storage system start in Senegal?

Construction of the battery energy storage system is expected to commence in early 2024 at the Tobène substation in Thies and is expected to become operational in 2025. Once complete, it will be one of the largest of its kind in West Africa, and will help Senegal to avoid approximately 37,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions each year.

Can Senegal achieve universal access to modern energy?

In order to achieve universal access to modern energy, to spur industrialisation and consolidate a low-carbon, resilient and sustainable energy system, Senegal has recently joined the ranks of countries (South Africa, Indonesia, Viet Nam) having entered a Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP).

Does Senegal have a good system for collecting energy data?

Senegal has a good system for collecting energy data (SIE-Sénégal), bringing together both decision makers and the main data suppliers in a consultation framework.

Why is battery storage important in Senegal?

Battery storage offers incredible opportunities for Senegal to reap the benefits of renewables, while ensuring people get a secure, reliable supply of energy. We are excited to begin a promising new chapter in Senegal and further strengthen our work in the renewable energy sector.”
