Kodeni Solar
Kodeni Solar
The proposed project activity involves the construction and operation of a 38 MW solar PV project in Bobo Dioulasso (Burkina Faso, 360 km far from the capital, Ouagadougou), for the supply of approximately 72 GWh to the fossil-fuel intensive grid managed by SONABEL, interconnected with the Western African Power Pool.
Access to clean and inexpensive energy is a priority of Burkina Faso's Ministry of Energy, which aims to increase the national and rural electrification rates by 45% and 19% respectively by 2025. To this end, the Government of Burkina Faso has signed a memorandum with Africa REN to build and operate Kodeni solar power plant during 25 years.
Kodéni Solar SASU was created in 2019 to develop and operate the power plant. The project is a type I project activity under sectoral scope: 1, Energy Industries (renewable and non-renewable sources). The methodology ACM0002 (Version 20.0) is applied since its purpose is the installation of a new grid-connected renewable power plant (Greenfield) as the "electricity delivered to the grid by the project activity would have otherwise been generated by the operation of grid-connected power plants.
The average power generation of the project for the next 7 years is estimated at 72 GWh per year, resulting in emissions reductions of 40,448 tCO2e emission reductions per year and 283,136 tCO2e of emission reductions over the 7 years crediting period.
