Senegal Grid-side Energy Storage Power Station Project
Hybrid project combines 10 MW battery storage with an existing 16 MW solar power plant. Africa REN has commissioned the 10 MW 20 MWh Walo Storage battery energy storage system in Bokhol in northern Senegal, marking a regional milestone for grid stability and renewable energy. . Urgent need to stabilize the grid, due to the high share of renewable production in the energy mix. The project will increase the current spinning reserve by 40% and will provide additional services such as frequency control, island functioning and Black-Start capability. Independent power producer Africa REN has commissioned a solar-plus-storage project in Senegal. Credit: Michael Förtsch Senegal has taken another major step toward clean and reliable energy.
