Boundiali Solar Power Station

[2] Boundiali is located approximately 660 kilometres (410 mi), by road, northwest of the city of Abidjan, the national capital.

[3] The power station has a capacity of 37.5 megawatts, sold directly to the state-owned Ivorian electricity utility company, Société de Gestion du Patrimoine du Secteur de l'Electricité (SOGEPE), for integration in the national electricity grid.

In addition to supplying the country with 37.5 megawatts of clean energy, the power station will enable Ivory Coast avoid the emission of 27,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide annually.

To mitigate the lack of sunshine at night, the developers of this solar farm decided to install a 10MW/13.8MWh lithium battery energy storage system (BESS).

Eiffage Énergie Systèmes has selected Saft, a subsidiary of TotalEnergies, to design and install the BESS, in six containers on site.
