Prof Honoré Bogler, Chairman of the Regulatory Council of the ECOWAS Regional Electricity Regulatory Authority (ERERA) will be among of our guests of honour at WAPECC as the region gathers to unlock investment and to transform the West African energy landscape.

Regional stakeholders have decided to gather around a subject that matters to them and the industry. We had an introductory meeting on the 23rd October as a first face to face contact, to present the WAPECC team, to introduce the steering committee members and to go through the working guidelines of the committee.

On Monday December 3rd 2018, The Ministry of Petroleum, Energy and Renewable Energies announced that the Ivory coast would build Africa’s first floating solar power plant.

Floating PV structures allow normally more densely populated coastal areas to be serviced without sacrificing farm or urban land. An interesting approach and a first for West Africa where the Seychelles are also planning a similar project.

IVORY COAST: Floating solar power station announced, as in the Seychelles

The GCF have pledged $27 Million as an incentive for local companies in Burkina Faso to supply 100 villages with power from solar mini grids. The “Yeleen Rural Electrification Project”, as it is known, is seen to be a good candidate for replicability and one that could encourage more private sector involvement in similar rural-electrification projects in Burkina Faso as well as the rest of sub-Saharan Africa. This investment is also likely to mobilise funds from the European Union, the Africa Development Bank, private investors and others.
