The solar power plant, equipped with a battery electricity storage system, will be built in 15 months. After that, it is expected to stabilize energy security at the airport while increasing the country''s generation capacity. According to Burkina Faso''s Ministry of Energy, Mines and Quarries, the country generates 500MW of the current 714.4MW.
The African Development Bank Group () has approved a €6 million concessional financing package from the Sustainable Energy Fund for Africa (SEFA), a special multi-donor fund managed by the Bank, to accelerate the completion of Burkina Faso''s Dédougou photovoltaic solar project in support of the Bank''s Desert-to-Power initiative

The construction of a solar PV plant in Burkina Faso – one of the country''s first independent power producer projects – is set to be accelerated after receiving a concessional financing package. The project is to design, construct and operate an 18MW solar power plant in Dédougou, 250 kilometres west of the capital, Ouagadougou.
The power plants located in Burkina Faso and Senegal also enjoy regional energy integration with power lines shared with their neighboring countries (Ivory Coast, Ghana, Mali, and Mauritania). The plant in Burkina Faso can also be noted for its participation in a meteorological environmental project.
Burkina Faso has made a significant leap in its renewable energy journey by commissioning the Zina solar power plant. Located in the village of Zina in Mouhoun Province, about 185 kilometres from the capital city Ouagadougou, this solar facility is poised to be a game-changer in the country''s energy sector.

The country aims to reach 95% electricity access, with 50% in rural areas and universal access to clean cooking solutions in urban areas, with 65% in rural areas by 2030, up from 9% in 2020. The utilisation of Burkina Faso’s renewable resource potential would enable the country to reduce its heavy reliance on thermal generation and energy imports.
In a pivotal move to bolster Burkina Faso’s electricity supply strategy, the Minister of Energy, Mines, and Quarries, Simon-Pierre BOUSSIM, and Serge CONSEIGA, General Director of Energie Plus, sealed an agreement for the construction of a 50-megawatt peak (50 MWp) solar power plant in the commune of Komsilga, Burkina Faso.
Additionally, the results from this report are intended to inform the design and development of the country’s regional projects as Burkina Faso is planning to enhance electricity trade with neighbouring countries through regional interconnectors with Benin, Niger, Nigeria and Togo.
