A solar farm in Ouagadougou generating clean energy by day, while specially designed battery containers hum quietly nearby – like giant smartphone power banks for the national grid. That's exactly what the Ouagadougou Linyang Energy Storage initiative brings to Burkina Faso's energy.
The Pyongyang storage facility, operational since Q4 2024, uses lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries with 180MWh capacity - enough to power 60,000 homes for 3 hours during outages. This isn't just about keeping lights on; it's about enabling industrial growth in the nation's capital.
Since 2022, Bairen Energy Storage has deployed 47 battery energy storage systems (BESS) across West Africa. Their Ouagadougou flagship project—a 20MW/80MWh lithium-ion facility—powers 15,000 homes after dark using solar energy captured during daylight.
