To achieve universal electricity access goals, the country needs new grid-connected power generation capacities, decentralized power systems and a reorganization of the sector. It is in this sense that the DtP initiative wishes to support Burkina Faso. However, several sectoral challenges, highlighted in the table below, hinder these efforts.
The electricity generation capacity of Burkina Faso as of 201 9 is around 300 MW and is dominated by fossil fuel-based (i.e. Diesel and Heavy Fuel Oil) generation (253 MW).
The project is currently owned by Societe Nationale d''electricite du Burkina Faso with a stake of 100%. Zagtouli Solar Park is a ground-mounted solar project. 32 inverters are likely to get installed at the Zagtouli Solar Park (Zagtouli Solar Park Phase 1) site. Development status

calculated as annual generation divided by year-end capacity x 8,760h/year. Avoided emissions from renewable power is calculated as renewable generation divided by fossil fuel generation multiplied by reported emissions from the power sector. This assumes that, if renewable power did not exist, fossil fuels would be used in its place to generate
to the deployment of renewable energy, particularly solar energy. Burkina Faso benefits from daily sunlight of 5.5 KWh/m2 for 3000 to 3500 hours per year, with a uniformly distributed solar resource across the national territory, yielding an average of 1620 KWc. This growth in renewable energy has been facilitated by state subsidies on imported

According to the 2020 report from Burkina Faso's National Electricity Company (SONABEL), the national electricity generation fleet's nominal installed capacity at the end of 2020 was 366.05 MW. The distribution of this capacity was as follows: 299.95 MW from fuel thermal generation, 32 MW from hydroelectric power, and 34.1 MW from solar PV.
This objective can be achieved through the development of solar energy production in Burkina Faso, a country with an estimated solar irradiation of 5.5 kWh/m 2 /day. The construction of the ZGCPVS plant has played a significant role in expanding the available electricity supply and reducing the production cost per kilowatt-hour.
The study combines high-quality resource data with supplementary factors (i.e. protected areas, topography, transmission lines and road network proximity) using a suitability assessment approach. The findings of this study indicate that a significant portion of Burkina Faso's land area is suitable for solar PV and wind development.
In 2020, the combined electricity generation from the Zagtouli and Ziga plants will account for nearly 3% of the country's total electricity production. Figure 1 and Figure 2, presented below, illustrate the annual installed solar PV capacity worldwide and in Burkina Faso, respectively, from 2011 to 2020 . Figure 1.
The Zagtouli Grid-Connected Solar PV System Socioeconomic Impacts The initial step in providing electricity access to people is to increase the supply while reducing costs. This objective can be achieved through the development of solar energy production in Burkina Faso, a country with an estimated solar irradiation of 5.5 kWh/m 2 /day.
The report highlights the dominance of thermal power generation using fossil fuels and the persistent shortfall in meeting growing electricity demand. More than half of the electricity consumed in Burkina Faso is imported from neighboring countries like Cote d'Ivoire and Ghana.
