The agreement focuses on implementing a 40 MW battery energy storage system to improve the stability of Senegal's national grid. The system will be one of West Africa's largest upon completion in 2025 – with construction set to begin in early-2024 at the Tobène substation in Thiès – and will be integrated with the Taiba N'Diaye wind farm.
“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,” states Infinity Power Chairman, Mohamed Ismail Mansour.
Senelec, the sole buyer, signs power purchase contracts with independent power producers (IPPs). The Manantali Dam in Mali generates some of Senegal's electricity needs. Senegal's major source of electricity is diesel. The rest is mostly coal and hydroelectricity.
Senegal's national electricity company Senelec has entered into a 20-year capacity change agreement with Infinity Power, a joint venture between Egypt's Infinity and the UAE's Masdar, to establish a battery energy storage system.
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. The BESS will also provide ancillary services such as frequency regulation, reactive power support, and energy charge and discharge.
The BESS will support Senelec in reducing its dependence on reserve capacity derived from thermal plants, with Senelec estimating that the BESS will save the grid an estimated $165 million over its operating life.
