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.

Syria's energy sector is in turmoil because of the ongoing civil conflict that began in the spring of 2011, with oil and natural gas production declining dramatically since then. Syria's energy sector has encountered a number of challenges as a result of conflict and subsequent sanctions imposed by the United States and the European Union.
In Syria, most energy is based on oil and gas. Some energy infrastructure was damaged by the Syrian civil war. In the 2000s, Syria's electric power system struggled to meet the growing demands presented by an increasingly energy-hungry society.
Syria, previously the eastern Mediterranean's leading oil and natural gas producer, has seen its production fall to a fraction of pre-conflict levels. Syria is no longer able to export oil, and as a result, government revenues from the energy sector have fallen significantly.
Traditional biomass – the burning of charcoal, crop waste, and other organic matter – is not included. This can be an important source in lower-income settings. Syria: How much of the country’s electricity comes from nuclear power? Nuclear power – alongside renewables – is a low-carbon source of electricity.
Syria also had separate entities for the generation and distribution of electricity. Syria's oil sector has been in a state of disarray since 2011. Production and exports of crude oil have fallen to nearly zero, and the country is facing supply shortages of refined products.
Energy demand in Syria has been increasing at a rate of roughly 7.5% per year due to the expansion of the industrial and service sectors, the spread of energy-intensive home appliances, and state policies that encouraged wasteful energy practices, such as high subsidies and low tariffs.

Syria's electricity generating capacity was 8.9 gigawatts in 2012, although damage to electricity generating facilities, high voltage power lines, and other infrastructure has likely reduced the country's effective capacity. Electricity distribution losses, already 17% of total generation in 2012, have likely climbed even further.
In 2008, Syria became a net importer of natural gas, but the country's current state of conflict—and sanctions—have affected the ability of Syria to receive natural gas. The only source of natural gas imports, the Arab Gas Pipeline, became the target of attacks as the conflict intensified, forcing the pipeline to shut down.
