The addition of the solar farm and the battery storage system allows the power station to rest three of the six thermal generators during the day. This allows the electricity demand of the gold mine during daytime to be covered up to 75 percent by renewable energy. The mine is able to avoid the burning of over 13,000,000 liters of heavy fuel oil annually. This lowers the footprint of this mine by 39,000 tonnes every year.

What is the energy strategy of Mali?
The general energy strategy of Mali focuses on the development of local resources such as hydropower and solar energy in order to reduce petroleum imports. Objectives of the National Energy Policy regarding renewable energy are: Promotion of RE.
How a decentralized energy supply works in Mali?
The small size and dispersed locations of villages in Mali for a long time made off-grid decentralized mechanical and electric energy supply the only viable option. A multifunctional platform consists of a 10-hp diesel engine that, as desired, can power a mill, a generator, a pump or other devices mounted on the same rail.
What is the energy access problem in Mali?
Mali faces a critical energy access challenge. The national power access rate was 50% in 2019 (compared to 36.11% in 2015). The problem is particularly acute in rural areas with 21.12% access rate in 2019 (compared to 15.75% in 2015).
Why is energy du Mali struggling with load shedding?
Power generation is limited (Annex A.17), forcing Energie du Mali (EDM, the power utility) to have recourse to frequent load shedding. EDM’s difficulties stem from the discrepancy between the average price (CFAF96 per KWh) and the power production cost (CFAF130 per kWh) in 2019.
