UTILITY-SCALE SOLAR AND WIND AREASUTILITY-SCALE

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This study seeks to map areas in Burkina Faso that are suitable for deploying utilityscale 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

Is Burkina Faso suitable for solar power projects?

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.

Can Burkina Faso achieve 95% electricity access?

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.

How much solar energy does Burkina Faso have?

larly solar energy. Burkina Faso benefits from daily sunlight of 5.5 KWh/m2 for 3000 to 3500 hours per year, with a uniformly distributed solar resource across the national territory, yielding an

How will Burkina Faso improve electricity trade with neighbouring countries?

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.

What changes have been made in Burkina Faso since the last iteration?

UNCILMajor changesSince the last iteration, significant progress has been made with the successive commissioning of new solar power plants in Burkina Faso in 2024, and the continuation of electrification efforts despite he security crisis. The national coverage rate has increased to 50%, compared to a national electrification rat

What is Burkina Faso's road network?

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
