6 FAQs about [Burkina Faso rooftop wind power]
Is Burkina Faso suitable for solar power projects?
This suitability assessment was carried out at the request of the Government of Burkina Faso to map potential areas for utility-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind projects. Currently, less than 25% of the population has access to electricity and the majority of those with access live in urban areas.
How many wind farms can be installed in Burkina Faso?
Results from the technical power potential at 80 m agl show that a total of 312 MW of wind farms, generating annually a total of 741 GWh of energy, could be installed in Burkina Faso.
Can Burkina Faso achieve 95% electricity access?
The country aims to reach 95% electricity access, with 50% in rural areas and universal access to clean cooking solutions in urban areas, with 65% in rural areas by 2030, up from 9% in 2020. The utilisation of Burkina Faso’s renewable resource potential would enable the country to reduce its heavy reliance on thermal generation and energy imports.
