Phase One's 16 turbines began supplying 50 MW of electricity to Senegal's grid in December 2019, while additional phases since July 2021 add 108 MW, increasing the country's electricity supply by 15 percent.
Senegal is also committed to renewable energy resources, with approximately one-third of its energy mix coming from renewables. In February 2020, President Sall officially inaugurated the first phase of the Taiba Ndiaye Wind Park, Senegal's first utility-scale wind project which, when completed, will be the largest in West Africa.
The Government of Senegal objective to reach universal electricity access by 2025 relies on access to affordable electricity services in large areas of the country that are currently only partially served.
