Senegal is taking another step in its energy transition. Senelec has launched a battery energy storage plant project, linked to the Diass solar power plant, representing an investment of over 23 billion CFA francs, or approximately 36 million euros.
$280 - $580 per kWh (installed cost), though of course this will vary from region to region depending on economic levels. For large containerized systems (e., 100 kWh or more), the cost can drop to $180 - $300 per kWh.
The BE-VOLT factory, a 100% subsidiary of AVESTA Holding, headquartered in Ninove,Belgium, will be the first battery system manufacturing plant in the Benelux Region.
The energy storage plants will be located at three sites in Selebipik, Madaniel and Juangen, where the country's first large-scale solar PV plants (100MW each) are planned to be built.
The Gambia has inaugurated a 23 MW solar plant with 8 MWh of battery storage as part of the Gambia Electricity Restoration and Modernization Project (GERMP), which targets universal electricity access by 2025.
