About this project

The project is being executed in a very challenging environment, in a land-locked country and one the lowest developed economies in Africa. Furthermore, the political situation in the country is very unstable with two coup d’états in 2022 (one in January 2022 and another one in October 2022). Therefore, the local communities of rural areas (like the region where the project is being developed) are suffering for the lack of economic opportunities and infrastructure development. The Project will provide to Burkina Faso competitive electricity produced with a sustainable and environmentally friendly source (the solar irradiation) while at the same time will provide job opportunities to the local community. In order to make feasible the Project in such a difficult environment, the Project will use the revenues from the sale of carbon credits to support its normal operations as well as the community based programs for the local population.
