Sustainable development of the West African Power Pool:
Several energy and power system models have been developed in modelling the integration of renewable energy sources in interconnected electricity networks. Most of these models represent a country (Brancucci Martínez-Anido et al., 2013; Ghana imports 8.6 TWh from Burkina Faso and Côte d''Ivoire and exports 3.2 TWh to Benin/Togo, while

Enhanced asset management
Exploring the potential of decentralized renewable energy
Renewable energy sources can power water pumps, treatment plants, irrigation systems and other water-related technologies that can increase water availability, quality and efficiency [48]. As such, through improving the access to water services and sanitation, RE decentralization can contribute into the achievement of other SDGs (Fig. 5).
Are West Africa''s policy, planning, and regulatory frameworks
As for Côte d''Ivoire, the 2014–2030 National Master Plan for Electricity Transmission reveals that the country aims to remain a central energy hub in the region, providing to "the countries of the North [including Burkina Faso and Mali], which lack energy resources, and the countries of the East [of which Ghana], which have gas resources

Burkina Faso . PRESS RELEASE. Ouagadougou, October 8, 2021 The ambition driving the inaugural integration of a first project into the MIHIA platform, the Zano solar power plant, is to provide the people of Burkina Faso with accessible, functional renewable energy sources on the African continent. This long- term partnership is based on the

Renewable heat. Renewables also have an important role in providing heat for buildings and industrial processes. To achieve decarbonisation and energy saving objectives, many countries are encouraging individual homes and buildings to shift from fossil fuel heating systems such as gas- or oil-fired boilers to systems like heat pumps which are much more efficient and can be
Analysis of Burkina Faso Electricity System
Electricity generated from renewable energy sources was highest in CSS and 36.2% and lowest in BAU scenario at 28% for the whole period up to 2030. Universal electricity access is achieved under CSS through off-grid solar contributing to 8.3%
