The power station has a capacity of 37.5 megawatts, sold directly to the state-owned Ivorian electricity utility company, Société de Gestion du Patrimoine du Secteur de l'Electricité (SOGEPE), for integration in the national electricity grid. The electricity is evacuated via a substation near the power station. The energy generated will power approximately 30,000 homes. In addition to supplying the country with 37.5 megawatts of clean energy, the power station will. [pdf]
A lithium-ion battery energy storage system (BESS) made by Saft will be installed at a 37.5MWp solar PV power plant in Côte d’Ivoire (Ivory Coast). It is the African country’s first-ever large-scale solar project and the batteries will be used to smooth and integrate the variable output of the PV modules for export to the local electricity grid.
“After having experimented with fossil fuels and hydroelectricity, [Ivory Coast], which is rich in renewable energy potential, is about to commission its first solar power plant, marking its intention to vary its energy mix as much as possible,” said Noumory Sidibé, the director general of CIE
In addition to supplying the country with 37.5 megawatts of clean energy, the power station will enable Ivory Coast avoid the emission of 27,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide annually. Up to 300 construction jobs were created during the construction phase.
According to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), Ivory Coast had 13 MW of cumulative solar capacity in 2021. This content is protected by copyright and may not be reused.

CIE, the Ivory Coast’s state-owned utility and subsidiary of French group Eranove, has recently completed the development of this solar farm in the Boundiali Department, Bangoue Region. The solar power plant is now set to supply clean electricity to 30,000 households in the region. But, its launch date is yet to be known.

There is enormous potential for renewable energy in Kazakhstan, particularly from wind and small hydropower plants. The has the potential to generate 10 times as much power as it currently needs from alone. But accounts for just 0.6 percent of all power installations. Of that, 95 percent comes from small projects. The main barriers to investment in renewable energy are relatively high financing costs and an abse. [pdf]
The potential of solar energy in Kazakhstan is estimated at 16% efficiency and 2.5 billion kWh per year, which corresponds to an area of about 10 km2 of solar cells. Solar energy can be widely used in two-thirds of the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan, with an average efficiency of modern solar panels ranging from 15-25%. The passage does not directly mention the efficiency of solar energy in Kazakhstan being 2.5 billion kWh per year, but rather the potential of it. So, the efficiency value in the passage is the efficiency of the solar cells.
Kazakhstan has significant potential for renewable energy. The wind potential is estimated to be 1.8trn kWh per year, which is close to 10 times Kazakhstan’s current energy consumption, according to UN estimates. Solar energy also has great potential given the number of sunny hours per year, typically between 2,200 and 3,000 hours, implying a capacity of 1,300-1,800kW/sqm per year. Hydro power is another renewable energy source with potential in Kazakhstan.
The geographical position of Kazakhstan makes it suitable for wind and solar energy generation. More than 50% of its territory has a 4–5 m/s wind speed where in some places it reaches 8–10 m/s. In order to establish a wind plant, wind speed needs to be higher than 5 m/s where more than 8–9 m/s are considered as exceptional conditions.
Kazakhstan has areas with high insolation that could be suitable for solar power, particularly in the south of the country, receiving between 2200 and 3000h of sunlight per year, which equals 1200–1700 kW/m2 annually. Both concentrated solar thermal and solar photovoltaic (PV) have potential.
By 2050, Kazakhstan's energy mix is anticipated to consist of at least half of its energy needs coming from non-thermal sources. This plan requires the start of a domestic nuclear energy program and significant growth in non-hydro renewables.
Global trend of tightening carbon regulation presents yet another impetus for broader modernization and systemic reforms of energy sector in Kazakhstan. Kazakhstan should articulate and adopt an official Energy Security Strategy document, guided by these general observations.
