The Donsin Solar Power Station is a 25 megawatts plant under development in . The power station is owned and is being developed by the , through the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Quarries. The off-taker of the power generated here is (SONABEL), the Burkinabe national electricity utility company. The project received funding support, in the form of a €45.7 million [pdf]
While lithium-ion dominates headlines, Burkina’s playing a wildcard: sand-based thermal storage. Researchers at Université Joseph Ki-Zerbo are testing low-cost systems that store heat in insulated sand pits – reaching 650°C to power steam turbines at night. Early prototypes show 80% efficiency.
