Why is Burkina Faso launching a new energy project?
“This new project is in line with our strategy for the Sahel, which aims to double the rate of access to electricity by 2025, especially in rural areas, and to create the conditions for more private financing in the energy sector,” explained Maimouna Mbow Fam, World Bank operations manager for Burkina Faso.
Will Burkina Faso invest $400 million in solar?
“This new scheme will enable Burkina Faso to mobilize more than $400 million in private investment in solar production and innovative battery storage systems,” added Alexis Madelain, project team leader at the World Bank.
How much solar power does Burkina Faso have?
Burkina Faso had just 62 MW of installed PV at the end of 2020. The World Bank has agreed to support Burkina Faso's Sustainable Renewables Risk Mitigation Initiative (SRMI) to improve access to electricity in rural areas with $168 million.
What will Burkina Faso's solar funds be used for?
The funds will be used to implement the country’s Large Scale Solar and Rural Electrification Project. They will also support the government in outlining an upcoming tender for 325 MW of solar coupled with 335 MWh of storage capacity. Burkina Faso had just 62 MW of installed PV at the end of 2020.
