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.
The BESS is to be built at the Tobène substation in Thies, Senegal. It will be operated by Infinity Power's 158.7 MW wind farm in Senegal, Parc Eolien Taiba N'Diaye (PETN)
Although not claimed, the project could be the largest BESS in Senegal when it comes online. There have been various reports about a 160-175MWh BESS co-located with a wind farm, for which a feasibility study was announced in 2021, but no firm project announcement has come since.
The BESS is expected to begin construction in early 2024 at the Tobène substation in Thies and is expected to become operational in 2025. Once completed, the system will be one of the largest of its kind in West Africa and will help Senegal avoid approximately 37,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions each year. Have you read?
