Get StartedA lithium-ion battery energy storage system (BESS) made by Saft will be installed at a 37.5MWp solar PV power plant in Côte d’Ivoire (Ivory Coast). It is the African country’s first-ever large-scale solar project and the batteries will be used to smooth and integrate the variable output of the PV modules for export to the local electricity grid.
“The solar power plant is regarded as a model project for the expansion of solar energy in Côte d’Ivoire. It is an important contribution to the fight against climate change and a decisive step towards increasing the share of renewable energies in the country’s electricity supply to 45% by 2030,” said KfW.
The recently inaugurated solar plant in Boundiali, Ivory Coast. Image Source: RMT, Eiffage Energie Système A new solar plant that can supply electricity to up to 35,000 homes has been inaugurated in Côte d’Ivoire. Located in Boundiali in the north of the country, the plant has already been providing up to 37MW of power since June 2023.
We develop a TIMES model of the electricity sector for Côte d'Ivoire that provides least-cost solutions for power systems. Our estimates show that electricity demand could increase by a factor of 4.5 by 2050. Least cost solutions show that solar PV could provide at least 18% of total electricity generation in 2050.
In the case of a low-cost solar scenario, PV capacity is up to 24 GW and storage is nearly 15 GW between 2030 and 2050. In closing its economic gap with emerging markets, Côte d’Ivoire will face a substantial increase in electricity demand over the next three decades.
These aspects are left for further research. This coal-fired power plant is expected to be the first ever built in Côte d’Ivoire. Note that the implicit price of carbon for the other scenarios is not worth studying because they show CO 2 emissions in 2050 below the Paris Agreement target.
The global commercial and industrial solar energy storage battery market is experiencing unprecedented growth, with demand increasing by over 400% in the past three years. Large-scale battery storage solutions now account for approximately 45% of all new commercial solar installations worldwide. North America leads with 42% market share, driven by corporate sustainability goals and federal investment tax credits that reduce total system costs by 30-35%. Europe follows with 35% market share, where standardized industrial storage designs have cut installation timelines by 60% compared to custom solutions. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 50% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing system prices by 20% annually. Emerging markets are adopting commercial storage for peak shaving and energy cost reduction, with typical payback periods of 3-6 years. Modern industrial installations now feature integrated systems with 50kWh to multi-megawatt capacity at costs below $500/kWh for complete energy solutions.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving solar energy storage battery performance while reducing costs for commercial applications. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal performance with 50% less energy loss, extending battery lifespan to 20+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $1,000/kW to $550/kW since 2022. Smart integration features now allow industrial systems to operate as virtual power plants, increasing business savings by 40% through time-of-use optimization and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage protection and thermal management systems have reduced insurance premiums by 30% for commercial storage installations. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple battery additions at just $450/kWh for incremental storage. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial projects typically achieving payback in 4-7 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard industrial systems (50-100kWh) starting at $25,000 and premium systems (200-500kWh) from $100,000, with flexible financing options available for businesses.
