The (EPC) contract was awarded to Eiffage Énergie Systèmes, a subsidiary of the French . To mitigate the lack of sunshine at night, the developers of this solar farm decided to install a 10MW/13.8MWh lithium (BESS). Eiffage Énergie Systèmes has selected Saft, a subsidiary of , to design and install the BESS, in six containers on site. Ivory Coast's state-run utility Ci-Energies has launched two tenders for the construction of 100 MW solar power plants, each connected to 33 MWh of storage capacity. In the first tender, Ci-Energies is seeking proposals for a plant in Dabakala, a town in the country’s northeast.
[pdf] The BESS comprises 27 containers, each of 2.5MWh capacity. The containers were designed and assembled by TotalEnergies’ battery subsidiary Saft. According to TotalEnergies, the project is built to ensure enough supply of electricity in the national grid, particularly during peak winter periods.
[pdf] Unlike traditional energy storage methods, BESS offers quick response times, efficient energy use, and the flexibility to adapt to modern energy demands. Key Functions of BESS Energy Storage: Captures and stores electricity during low-demand periods for use during peak hours.
