Where is the largest solar power plant in West Africa?
In Zagtouli, in south-west Ouagadougou, the largest solar power plant in West Africa – and the first in Burkina Faso – has just been built. In a country where the majority of the 19 million inhabitants do not have access to electricity, access to permanent, reliable, cheap and climate-friendly energy changes the lives of the population.
How will the Zagtouli solar power plant increase its production capacity?
An extension is already planned at the Zagtouli solar power plant in order to increase its production and meet the strong demand. It will increase the generation capacity by 17 MW, in addition to the current capacity of 33 MW.
Where is Burkina Faso's new power plant located?
This state-of-the-art power plant is located at about 15 km from the capital Ouagadougou and is being financed by AFD and the European Union. It will produce some 5% of the country’s consumption, for a price to the final consumer practically four times lower than those of Burkina Faso’s national operator on the conventional grid.
How much electricity does Burkina Faso produce?
Burkina Faso is only able to produce 60 percent of the electricity it consumes. The remaining 40 percent in imported from neighboring Ghana and Ivory Coast. The output of this power plant is intended to reduce that energy deficit. In November 2017, there were plans to enlarge the power plant by another 17 megawatts to a total of 50 megawatts.
