Situated near the equator in Burkina Faso, Ouagadougou is an excellent location for solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation due to its consistent sunlight exposure throughout the year. The average energy yield per day for each kilowatt of installed solar capacity varies slightly by season, with 6.02 kWh in Summer, 6.59 kWh in Autumn and Winter
Burkina Faso marks a significant leap in its renewable energy journey with the inauguration of the Zano photovoltaic solar power plant. With a peak capacity of 24 Megawatts, this state-of-the-art facility contributes 38
This report provides insights on the country''s potential to adopt solar PV and wind power; information on potential areas to explore in national grid infrastructure planning; and input for high-level policy models to ensure universal electricity supply and support for the long-term abatement of climate change.
Burkina Faso marks a significant leap in its renewable energy journey with the inauguration of the Zano photovoltaic solar power plant. With a peak capacity of 24 Megawatts, this state-of-the-art facility contributes 38 GWh of clean electricity annually, aligning with the nation''s commitment to achieving 15% renewable energy by 2025.
This study presents a techno-economic feasibility analysis of solar PV system integration with conceptualized Pumped Hydro Storage (PHS) and electric batteries for Burkina Faso. The study explores two cases (a) an off-grid PV with a storage system for rural areas and (b) a grid-connected PV system for an urban location.

Burkina Faso achieves a milestone in renewable energy with the inauguration of the Pâ photovoltaic solar power plant. The 30MWp facility aims to enhance electricity access for thousands of households, aligning with the government''s commitment to promoting clean energy and addressing the country''s growing power needs.
This study seeks to map areas in Burkina Faso that are suitable for deploying utility-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind power projects. It aims to i) provide insights into the country''s potential to adopt solar PV and wind power; ii) inform national infrastructure planning across the electricity supply value chain, spanning generation,
This report provides insights on the country''s potential to adopt solar PV and wind power; information on potential areas to explore in national grid infrastructure planning; and input for high-level policy models to ensure
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.
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.
Additionally, the results from this report are intended to inform the design and development of the country’s regional projects as Burkina Faso is planning to enhance electricity trade with neighbouring countries through regional interconnectors with Benin, Niger, Nigeria and Togo.
The road network considered in this analysis was provided by the National Observatory of Territorial Economy ofice in Burkina Faso. It includes the national, regional and departmental roads across the country as shown in Figure 6. Figure 6. Burkina Faso’s road network
It suggests a maximum development potential of approximately 95.9 and 1.96 gigawatts (GW) for solar PV and wind projects, respectively, taking into consideration an installation density of 50 megawatts (MW) per square kilometre for solar PV, 5 MW per square kilometre for wind and a land utilisation factor of 1%.
The seven criteria considered (resource quality; transmission line network; road network; topography; protected areas; population density; and land use) are explained in detail in terms of their efect on the planning of solar PV and wind power projects. The second section of this report explains the data sources for each criterion.
