Owner''s engineering for Benin''s first utility-scale solar power plant
3E, Egnon Consulting and Socrège have been assigned by the Société Béninoise d''Energie Électrique (SBEE) to provide owner''s engineering services for Benin''s first utility-scale solar power plant.
Techno-economic analysis of a utility-scale grid-tied solar
Approximately 131,920 people could be supplied with electricity from a 10 MW utility-scale photovoltaic power plant in Benin. • Photovoltaic power plants'' levelized cost of energy ranges from 0.11 USD/kWh to 0.125 USD/kWh. • Incentives and subsidies could lower the levelized cost of energy and increase solar photovoltaic investment in Benin.
Renewable energy in Benin: current situation and future prospects
To provide access to clean energy services to its communities, the government of Benin has recently inaugurated a 25-MW solar PV system. The solar power plant of Illoulofin is the first solar plant integrated into the grid with a generation capacity of 25 MW.

Solar Home Systems: The European Investment Bank has installed 107,000 solar home systems in Benin, offering them at a daily cost of 20 cents per day for users. Utility-Scale Photovoltaic Power Plants: The levelized cost of energy from these large-scale solar plants ranges between USD 0.11 and USD 0.125 per kWh.
Benin Gets 1st Large Scale Solar Plant
A 25 MW solar power plant has come online in Benin''s Illoulofin region as the country''s 1 st large scale solar PV facility; It is equipped with 47,212 solar modules and 185 Huawei inverters and was built by France''s RMT Eiffage; Funded with support from France''s AFD and the European Union, the project is planned to be expanded to 50 MW by 2024

A study from Ref. [50], estimated energy potential for each territory in Benin, and determined that 187 MW could be produced from small hydroelectric power plants (SHP), 761 MW from biomass, 322 MW from wind power, and 3532 MW from solar power. Of all the available renewable resources in Benin, solar has the greatest potential, and is the
Illoulofin Solar Power Station
Illoulofin Solar Power Station, is a 50 megawatts (67,000 hp) solar power plant in Benin, whose first 25 MW was commissioned on 19 July 2022, and the next 25 MW is under construction and is expected to come online in 2025.
Benin building solar power plants for energy access
Construction launched on 12 November at the 25MWp Forsun Solar PV plant in Pobè, Benin. The project is the result of cooperation between the French Development Agency (AFD), the European Union and the Beninese government to invest almost 16 billion West African Francs ($25.58 million) into building the solar plant.

Benin Expands Solar Energy Capacity
Key Figures & Findings: Benin has commenced construction of the 25 MW Forsun photovoltaic (PV) plant, enhancing the capacity of the Illoulofin solar power plant. The project, valued at $25.8 million, is funded by the French Development Agency (AFD) and the European Union.
Strategizing towards sustainable energy planning: Modeling the
To achieve 100 % RE by 2050, Benin would need to install 1000 MW of solar PV, 300 MW of wind power, 600 MW of hydropower, and 538 MW of CSP, with an investment cost of USD 6.04 billion and 1262 MW of CEEP generation.
