Technical FAQs 3

When will a battery energy storage system start in Senegal?

Construction of the battery energy storage system is expected to commence in early 2024 at the Tobène substation in Thies and is expected to become operational in 2025. Once complete, it will be one of the largest of its kind in West Africa, and will help Senegal to avoid approximately 37,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions each year.

Why is battery storage important in Senegal?

Battery storage offers incredible opportunities for Senegal to reap the benefits of renewables, while ensuring people get a secure, reliable supply of energy. We are excited to begin a promising new chapter in Senegal and further strengthen our work in the renewable energy sector.”

Can LNG be used for power generation in Senegal?

The use of LNG for power generation marks a significant step in diversifying Senegal’s energy mix, following the country’s first offshore oil production at Woodside’s Sangomar development in 2024 and LNG production from the BP-led Greater Tortue Ahmeyim Phase 1 project in February 2025, developed jointly with Mauritania.
