Enter the Ouagadougou Energy Storage Pilot, a game-changing initiative that's turning heads in the energy world faster than a sandstorm in the Sahel. With Africa's energy demand projected to double by 2040 [1], Burkina Faso is flipping the script. [pdf]
A telecom tower in Ouagadougou humming with activity, but instead of diesel generators belching smoke, it's powered by cutting-edge energy storage systems. That's not sci-fi – it's happening right now in Burkina Faso's capital. [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.

Find out about options for residential energy storage system siting, size limits, fire detection options, and vehicle impact protections. .
You have four options for siting ESS in a residential setting: an enclosed utility closet, basement, storage or utility space within a dwelling unit with finished or noncombustible walls. .
SEAC’s Storage Fire Detection working group strives to clarify the fire detection requirements in the International Codes (I-Codes). The 2021 IRC calls for the installation of heat detectors that are interconnected to smoke alarms. The problem is detectors. .
The Storage Fire Detection working group develops recommendations for how AHJs and installers can handle ESS in residential settings in. .
The IFC requires bollards or curb stops for ESS that are subject to vehicular impact damage. See the image below for garage areas that are not subject to damage and don’t require bollards. An FAQ overview of US installation codes and standard requirements for ESS, including the 2026 edition of NFPA 855 and updates to UL 9540A. [pdf]
