Since 2022, Bairen Energy Storage has deployed 47 battery energy storage systems (BESS) across West Africa. Their Ouagadougou flagship project—a 20MW/80MWh lithium-ion facility—powers 15,000 homes after dark using solar energy captured during daylight.
[pdf] The project, considered the world's largest solar-storage project, will install 3.5GW of solar photovoltaic capacity and a 4.5GWh battery storage system. The project has commenced in November 2024.
[pdf] Lithium-ion batteries can be stored for 2 to 3 years with minimal capacity loss. For best results, keep them in a cool place at around 20°C (68°F) and maintain humidity between 40-60%. Following these storage recommendations helps prolong the battery’s life and efficiency.
