Senegal’s Sendou coal-fired power station, with a capacity of 125 MW, has surpassed heavy fuel oil generators as the country’s most cost-effective source of baseload power. The project, which has been ongoing since 2007, is a regional success. It intends to enhance Senegal’s power dependability and cost through a “Build, Own, and Operate” model.
West African Energy, a Senegalese energy company, plans to open Senegal’s first and largest 300 MW combined cycle gas power station in January 2024.
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.”
The project, which is scheduled to begin construction in 2024, will be Senegal’s largest gas-to-power plant, producing 360 MW from natural gas supplies. It will also run on light crude oil as an alternative fuel.
Tobene – 115 MW Tobene Power is a large independent power generator in Senegal, with a 115 MW capacity, located 90 Km northeast of Dakar near Taiba Ndiaye. It contributes significantly to the country’s power generation, accounting for around 10% of installed capacity and supplying over 2 million people.
