Energy Sector Project Burkina Faso II - Energy Sector Project: This project sought to increase the supply of energy and the reliability of the network, at a lower cost for the national public electricity supplier, through the production and storage of solar energy and increased imports. As such, this project would have invested in energy supply infrastructure, including support for new solar power projects, the introduction of battery storage and improvements to electricity dispatch centers. These investments would have resulted in the increased available supply of cheaper electricity as a result of the production and storage of solar energy and an increase in imports, which would have improved electricity network reliability by reducing brownouts and other breakdowns. Improved reliability and increased supply from cheaper sources would make electricity more cost-effective by lowering costs for both the national public electricity supplier (SONABEL) as well as its customers.
