A New Era for Senegal''s Energy Landscape – BulBat
Ultimately, Walo Storage represents a new era for Senegal''s energy landscape, one that is marked by a commitment to sustainability, innovation, and the advancement of renewable energy
Construction of the battery energy storage system is expected to commence in early 2024 at the Tobène substation in Thies and is expected to become operational in 2025. Once complete, it will be one of the largest of its kind in West Africa, and will help Senegal to avoid approximately 37,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions each year.
West African Energy, a Senegalese energy company, plans to open Senegal's first and largest 300 MW combined cycle gas power station in January 2024.
Senelec owns 15%, while West African Energy controls the remaining 85%. The project, located near Dakar, will use indigenous gas, potentially reducing Senegal's power rates. Turbines are supplied by General Electric, while engineering and construction are handled by Calik Enerji. Sendou – 125 MW
Expected to be one of the lowest cost producers of electricity in Senegal, the project is helping reduce the cost of electricity generation in the country, which has one of the highest generation costs in Sub-Saharan Africa. About Infinity Power Infinity Power is Africa's largest pure play renewable energy provider.
