Senegal electrochemical energy storage industry requirements

4 FAQs about Senegal electrochemical energy storage industry requirements

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.

Will Senegal be a low cost producer of electricity?

Expected to be one of the lowest cost producers of electricity in Senegal, the project is helping reduce the cost of electricity generation in the country, which has one of the highest generation costs in Sub-Saharan Africa. About Infinity Power Infinity Power is Africa's largest pure play renewable energy provider.

How much does electricity cost in Senegal?

Due to dependence on expensive liquid fuels for 90 percent of power generation, Senegal has some of the highest generation costs in Africa. While electricity generation costs range from 34 to 38 cents per kilowatt hour, consumers pay roughly 24 cents per kilowatt hour with the difference covered by government subsidies.

How many MW of electricity does Senegal have?

Phase One's 16 turbines began supplying 50 MW of electricity to Senegal's grid in December 2019, while additional phases since July 2021 add 108 MW, increasing the country's electricity supply by 15 percent.
