Côte d''Ivoire has entered a new phase in the deployment of renewable energy with the official launch of Ferké Solar, a photovoltaic power plant developed by PFO Énergies, a
The Republic of Côte d'Ivoire is planning to build 12 photovoltaic solar plants with a combined capacity of 678 MW in different parts of the country by 2030. Likewise, the government plans to reach 1,686 MW by 2040.
In the northern region of the Côte d'Ivoire, the first phase of a solar power facility has been officially opened. The Boundiali solar power plant's financing was initially revealed in 2018, and details of its commissioning were made public in December 2022.
Beyond its environmental impact, Ferké Solar will contribute to the local economy with the creation of more than 600 jobs during the construction phase. This project is fully in line with Côte d'Ivoire's energy strategy, which has set a target of 45% renewable energy in the energy mix by 2030, in accordance with the commitments made at COP26.
The goal for the Ivorian State is to achieve a share of so-called clean energies estimated at 45% in the national energy mix by 2030, compared to 30% today. Finally, this project will eventually prevent more than 70,000 tons per year of carbon dioxide emissions, thereby improving the country's carbon footprint.
