The Government of Burkina Faso has signed a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) agreement with a local developer and a Dutch clean energy investment firm to develop a major solar and battery storage system.
The project is earmarked to deliver 150MWp of solar PV power integrated with a 50MW battery energy storage system (BESS) to the national grid over a 25-year term.

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.
