€17.2m solar project aims to lift Burkina Faso from among Africa's least electrified
Burkina Faso has secured €17.2 million in financing to advance a major solar project aimed at improving electricity access in one of Africa's least electrified nations. Burkina Faso has received €17.2 million financing for a significant solar energy project in Dédougou. Funding sources include FMO's Building Prospects Fund and the African Development Bank's SEFA. This solar development is expected to boost domestic power generation and enhance grid stability. The funding will go toward building and operating an 18 MWp solar power plant in Dédougou, marking a key step in the government's drive to expand renewable energy in Africa and cut dependence on costly, carbon-intensive power sources. The project is backed by €11.2 million in debt from the Dutch development bank FMO through its Building Prospects Fund and a €6 million concessional package from the African Development Bank's Sustainable Energy Fund for Africa (SEFA), comprising a €2.5 million senior concessional loan and a €3.5 million reimbursable grant. According to a 2023 World Bank report, Burkina Faso ranked as the seventh African nation with the lowest electricity access rate, with only 21.7% of its population connected to power. Countries with even lower access include South Sudan (5.4%), Burundi (11.6%), Chad (12.0%), Malawi (15.6%), the Central African Republic (17.6%), and Niger (20.1%). Operational status The new solar facility is poised to play a pivotal role in transforming Burkina Faso's energy landscape, delivering a meaningful increase in domestic power generation while reinforcing the stability of the national grid. By providing a cleaner and more affordable alternative, it will ease the country's heavy reliance on thermal plants and electricity imports. As recently as a few years ago, imports which came primarily from Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana, accounted for close to 40% of Burkina Faso's total supply. This dependence has long undermined the nation's development prospects, constraining industrial capacity and leaving its growing population vulnerable to external supply disruptions. The facility will operate under a 25-year power purchase agreement with the state utility SONABEL and forms part of the Desert-to-Power initiative, which aims to deliver 10 GW of solar capacity across the Sahel by 2030. FMO emphasises that its participation is critical, as local commercial banks in Burkina Faso are unable to offer long-term financing on suitable terms. Classified as an environmental and social Category B+ project, the investment triggers most IFC Performance Standards except PS7, and includes measures to manage economic displacement, maintain community relations, address security risks, and protect biodiversity, particularly important given the region's fragile security environment.
