Technical FAQs 4

How much does a solar power plant cost in Senegal?

The paired solar power plants cost $40.77 million, providing electricity to 540,000 people at under four cents per kWh – not only the cheapest energy in Senegal but among the most cost-effective across sub-Saharan Africa.

How much solar power does Senegal have?

As it stands, Senegal has 112 MW of installed solar, however this figure is rising exponentially year on year as investment swings in favor of green energy development and policymakers under H.E. Macky Sall’s regime and others realize the benefits of the renewable source.

When will Kael & Kahone solar plants be available in Senegal?

Meanwhile, the Kael and Kahone solar plants came online in May 2021, developed by Engie and Meridiam following competitive tendering by Senegal’s Energy Regulatory Commission, financed by the International Finance Corporation, European Investment Bank, Proparco and Senegalese sovereign wealth fund, FONSIS.

Where is Senegal's new thermal power plant located?

The plant, which is located 40 km south of the capital of Dakar in the department of M’bour, will supply 33,000 Senegalese households, saving Senegal’s national electricity company SENELEC an estimated $2.77 million per annum in fuel costs for thermal power plants over its 25-year lifespan.
