Dakar, Senegal, August 7, 2025 – Just one year after laying the foundation stone, Africa REN announces the commercial commissioning of Walo Storage, the first photovoltaic facility in West Africa combined with lithium-ion battery storage, designed for frequency regulation and to meet local energy needs in the event of grid loss. [pdf]
The facility combines 16 MW of solar generation with a 10 MW/20 MWh lithium-ion battery energy storage system, connected to the national grid operated by Senelec under a 20-year take-or-pay public-private partnership. [pdf]
Independent power producer, Africa REN, has commissioned a 20MW of solar PV power plant with a 10MW/20MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) in Senegal. Named the Walo Storage project, it marks West Africa’s first solar installation with dedicated energy storage for frequency regulation. [pdf]
Huawei Digital Power Sub-Saharan Africa FusionSolar recently brought together industry partners and key stakeholders from the continent’s Commercial & Industrial (C&I) energy sector to unveil the LUNA2000-215 Series, the world’s first hybrid air- and liquid-cooled C&I energy storage system (ESS), which it highlighted sets a new benchmark for efficiency and performance.
