Brief Description of the Project	The ECOWAS Master Plan for the Development of Regional Power Generation and Transmission Infrastructure 2019 -2033 identifies the key priority projects that have been sanctioned by the Authority of ECOWAS Heads of State and Government for implementation by WAPP to ensure stable integration of the national electricity networks in the ECOWAS Region and facilitate optimal power exchanges and trading among the Member States. The implementation strategy of the WAPP assumes the realisation of distinct but mutually complementary infrastructure subprograms, which when realised will result in an integrated efficient electricity system in West Africa. Key among the infrastructure sub-programs to be developed is a catalogue of renewable energy projects primarily aimed at augmenting the renewable energy component in the regional energy mix and also reducing the supply-demand imbalance within the ECOWAS sub-region. The WAPP Regional Solar Power Park Project in Mali of potential capacity 150 MW features prominently among the Priority Projects. The Project is scalable, multiphase and multisite. Three sites are selected, namely Fana, Bougouni and Sanankoroba around Bamako.
Objective and Rationale for the Project	The objective of the Project in Burkina is to reduce the supply-demand imbalance within the ECOWAS sub-region and augment the renewable energy component in the regional energy mix. This is completely aligned with the objective of the WAPP is to establish a regional electricity market in West Africa through the judicious development and realization of key priority infrastructure that would permit the accessibility to economic and sustainable energy resources, to all Member States of the ECOWAS. This is also in line with the region’s renewed drive to significantly augment the portion of new Renewables (Solar, Wind) in the regional energy mix. The project is in its preparation phase. The Feasibility Study is being finalized and the ESIA is ongoing.
Location/Site	Fana, Bougouni and Sanankoroba in Mali
Existing or Planned Projects along the proposed project	The project does not serve an existing or planned infrastructure asset of another sector.
Technical Specifications of the Project	Solar PV Power Plant with storage
Market Size	The expected production is 498 GWh per year. This energy will cover an equivalent demand.
Project Financial (in USD)	250,000,000
Gender Procurement actions	Subcontracting with women-owned SMEs or gender-certified businesses could be a possibility but it is not yet decided.
Last Milestone Known	S2B - Feasibility
