The national electric utility of Senegal, Senelec, has signed a 20-year CCA with Infinity Power for a battery energy storage project.
And there is plenty of that in Senegal. Mini-grids for ASER300: Electricity supply from a container A mini-grid (also known as an off-grid system or stand-alone grid) is a decentralized electricity supply. It provides a reliable supply of solar power for remote regions without access to the utility grid.
1 June 2023 – German system integrator and ARE Member Asantys Systems GmbH has started deploying a series of solar mini-grid projects through the ASER300 project in Senegal.
One of its aims is to give everyone in Senegal permanent access to the utility grid by 2025. The main focus is on expansion in rural areas, such as with the ASER300 project, which is bringing electricity to 300 villages using mini-grids. Best of all, the technology for the energy supply comes inside a standard shipping container.
