This $18 million initiative combines lithium-ion batteries with AI management systems, positioning itself as West Africa's answer to sustainable energy challenges. These aren't your grandma's storage units.
From stabilizing urban grids to powering remote clinics, these 100-foot container energy storage Engineered to support both wind and solar energy, this outdoor system offers a high-capacity storage of up to 5 MWh, making it ideal for large-scale energy needs.
The estimated project cost is UA 115. 5 million and will be co-financed by ADF, SEFA, EIB, BADEA, POWER AFRICA WAEP, the Government and SONABEL. The project implementation period will be 51 months from October 2021 to December 2025.
This system ensures efficient, safe, and long-lasting energy storage with liquid cooling technology, high-voltage lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) chemistry, and seamless grid integration. Supports up to 10 parallel units, enabling flexible expansion from 216kWh to 2.
Burkina Faso's national energy policy is designed to address the significant energy challenges faced by this landlocked country, which has one of the lowest energy access rates in the world.
