The Government of Burkina Faso has signed a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) agreement with a local developer and a Dutch clean energy investment firm to develop a major solar and battery storage system. 2 million loan package to finance its 18 MW solar energy project in Burkina Faso, near Dédougou. The funding will be provided by the World Bank to the selected independent power producers, who will construct and operate the plant for 25 years. However, the deployment of these technologies remains slow and hampered by a lack of funding and institutional capacity.
