In Ivory Coast, EDF is active in the fields of renewable energy, engineering, off-grid electricity and the supply of services. Our objective is to facilitate access to electricity for as many people as possible while supporting the country in its energy transition. Renewable energies.
We have several DC to AC power inverters that have no trouble powering tools and appliances at 220 Vac 50 Hz in the Ivory Coast. Our 4000 watt inverter charger is the perfect tool for people in the Ivory Coast seeking energy independence. It''s a compact, lightweight and powerful solution for off-grid, mobile and/or backup electricity.
The AZITO power station, built in 1999 and supplying one-third of the country''s energy, uses natural gas produced off the coast of Ivory Coast. In 23 years, the project''s capacity has grown nearly fivefold. After investing in new steam turbines in 2013, Ivory Coast became the first African country to use the combined-cycle system.
Zola Electric (formerly Off-Grid Electric) is one of the most prominent solar energy providers in Africa, offering a range of solar home systems and mini-grids in Tanzania, Ivory Coast, and other African markets.

Renewable energy and... As part of its active involvement in supporting Ivory Coast's commitment to the energy transition, EDF is developing an innovative biomass power plant project in partnership with local energy players. Ivory Coast is aiming for an energy mix in which 42% will come from renewable energy by 2030.
Ivory Coast’s engagement with private energy companies is not unique to the region. In fact, public-private partnerships are common across West Africa as they are equally popular with governments and private companies.
With the 2030 Energy Plan identifying 66 projects that will require private investment, the door is open for new private partners to stake their claim. Ivory Coast aims to achieve universal energy access by 2025 and triple its generation capacity by 2030.
By supporting projects that expand access to clean energy, investors can help reduce poverty, improve health outcomes, and promote sustainable development. Green bonds, climate finance, and concessional loans are some of the financing mechanisms being used to support off-grid solar development in Africa.
With the continent’s abundant sunlight, off-grid solar power is well-positioned to bridge the energy access gap and drive sustainable development across Africa.
Acknowledging that Ivory Coast’s “biggest challenge is changing the energy mix,” Obre states that “until now they have known only turbines and hydro, but the growth of renewable energy such as solar will require more flexible capacity to complement the hydro in balancing the intermittency of renewables and providing grid services.
