6 FAQs about [Burkina Faso solar farm cost]
Is Burkina Faso suitable for solar power projects?
This suitability assessment was carried out at the request of the Government of Burkina Faso to map potential areas for utility-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind projects. Currently, less than 25% of the population has access to electricity and the majority of those with access live in urban areas.
Is there a potential for utility-scale solar PV & wind power development in Burkina Faso?
More in-depth studies must be carried out to further screen areas, using criteria beyond annual average wind speeds and the other parameters highlighted in this study. The findings of this study indicate that there is significant potential for utility-scale solar PV and wind power development in Burkina Faso.
Can Burkina Faso achieve 95% electricity access?
The country aims to reach 95% electricity access, with 50% in rural areas and universal access to clean cooking solutions in urban areas, with 65% in rural areas by 2030, up from 9% in 2020. The utilisation of Burkina Faso’s renewable resource potential would enable the country to reduce its heavy reliance on thermal generation and energy imports.
