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.
In Burkina Faso, the government intends to accelerate the deployment of battery-based electricity storage systems in the coming years. Ouagadougou will rely on public-private partnerships (PPP).
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.
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.
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.
This means you need an inverter with at least 2. 5 kW capacity to handle this load comfortably, factoring in efficiency losses and a safety margin. Use our online tool Watt to Amp Calculator (Single & Three-Phase): Best Tool.
We purchase circuit breakers, transformers, switchgear, and more—whether new, used, or surplus. Our process is fast, hassle-free, and ensures you get the best value for your equipment.
That's exactly what the Ouagadougou Power Grid Storage Project aims to achieve. As West Africa's largest energy storage initiative, it's like giving Burkina Faso's capital a giant rechargeable battery – one that could power 200,000 homes during peak demand.
