Work on a solar energy and battery storage project in Senegal, touted to be the biggest in West Africa once it goes live, is set to begin next month after an EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) contract for its development was recently signed. The Kolda project will encompass a 60MWp PV solar plant coupled with a 90MWh storage system.
“This agreement paves the way for the construction to begin in May 2025, with the deployment of a 60MWp photovoltaic plant coupled with a 90MWh storage system.” Voltalia is to supply the PV infrastructure for the solar power plant, which will operate on Senegal’s national grid managed by SENELEC.
As per SENELEC’s (national electricity company of Senegal) current rate, the price of electricity for households in Senegal is 0.2223 USD/kWh. The electricity price for businesses is 0.3136 USD/kWh. 4 As per survey reports, nearly 55% of the population is connected to an electricity supply that worked most or all of the time.
The availability of sunny hours per year is around 3,030 for most parts of Senegal, with annual solar radiation of 8.3 kilowatt-hours per square meter per day. 12 The annual generation per unit of installed PV capacity in Senegal is approximately 1600-1800 KWh/kWp/year. 3
