Senegal has begun commercial operations at a new solar energy facility that combines photovoltaic power with lithium-ion battery storage, the first of its kind in West Africa, as the country of over 18 million people moves to strengthen its electricity grid. The West African nation, where over 60% of the population have access to electricity—one of the highest in the sub region—aims to achieve universal energy access by 2030. Located in Bokhol, Senegal, Walo Storage is the first battery storage. Africa REN, a leading pan‑African renewable energy developer, has energized the Walo Storage project in Bokhol, Senegal, a groundbreaking solar-plus-storage facility featuring 16 MW of solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity and a 10 MW/20 MWh lithium-ion battery. The Dutch development bank FMO and the Emerging Africa Infrastructure Fund (EAIF), acting through Ninety One, fund manager of EAIF has provided €32 million in syndicated debt into Walo Storage.

Ghana has installed a huge solar energy array on the Bui reservoir, cutting land use and boosting renewable energy output. The project can also protect aquatic life from overheating. Ghana is now home to the largest floating solar PV system in West Africa. For instance, between 2010 and 2021, the weighted average cost of electricity for large-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) infrastructure fell by 88 percent. Issued on: 02/04/2025 - 17:13 Modified: 02/04/2025 -. In July 2025, a team of researchers from Oregon State University traveled to West Africa with the aim of investigating opportunities for using agrivoltaics to help alleviate some of the challenges involving energy poverty and food insecurity. Senegal has begun commercial operations at a new solar energy facility that combines photovoltaic power with lithium-ion battery. In West Africa, where millions still lack access to electricity, solar home systems (SHS) ofer a ray of hope. These modular renewable energy solutions have been instrumental in bridging the gap, bringing light to remote areas where traditional grid extension is challenging.
