Aim-listed Firering has initiated a 3,000 m reverse circulation (RC) drilling campaign at its flagship lithium project, Atex, in Côte d''Ivoire. The program focuses on lithium-bearing pegmatite targets identified as the next crucial phase for Atex, building upon significant intercepts from the 2022 diamond drilling campaign near Spodumene
Battery maker Saft, a subsidiary of French multinational TotalEnergies SE (EPA:TTE), has secured a contract to deliver a 10-MW energy storage solution for the Boundiali solar PV project in Cote d''Ivoire.
Our first three scenarios show that solar photovoltaic energy could provide at least 18% of total electricity generation by 2050. However, this share of solar could also be compatible with a fivefold increase in CO 2 emissions if coal is massively used as a solution to the depletion of national gas resources.
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.
Located in the city of Boundiali, the power plant will be owned by state-owned electricity management group CI-Energies and Saft has been contracted by Eiffage Énergie Systèmes, the France-headquartered engineering company executing the project.
Saft, also headquartered in France and owned since 2016 by French energy major TotalEnergies, will deliver a full turnkey system based on its Intensium Max containerised BESS units which it uses for all of its utility-scale battery projects.
That includes the 25MW/25MWh BESS at a TotalEnergies platform site in Carling, northern France, which Energy-Storage.news reported the completion of installation and commissioning at earlier this week. That was part of a portfolio of 129MW Saft is deploying for its parent company in France, including the country''s biggest BESS, at 61MW/61MWh in Dunkirk, also in northern France.
At the Boundiali site, six Saft Intensium Max units totalling 10MW/13.8MWh will be installed along with power conversion systems and medium voltage power infrastructure, the company said today. It also marks Saft’s first major project on the African continent.
With Côte d’Ivoire looking to double its installed energy generation capacity by 2030 from around 2229MW today, the Boundiali represents a first step towards solar making a contribution to that goal. The country''s government wants 42% of its energy to come from renewables by the end of this decade.
CI Energies wants to use the project as a means to try out various other applications for battery storage on its networks, which could include ramp rate control, black starting power plants and local network infrastructure, frequency regulation and reactive power support.
Saft said the battery containers are designed to withstand the hot and dry winds the region experiences, as well as ambient air temperatures that sometimes reach 37°C in the semi-arid region.

The country''s government wants 42% of its energy to come from renewables by the end of this decade.
The primary role of the ESS will be capacity firming and smoothing of the solar plant''s inherently intermittent output to ensure a predictable and reliable feed into the local grid. The fully-integrated lithium-ion ESS will comprise six Saft Intensium Max High Energy containers, providing a total of 13.8 MWh energy storage, together with power conversion and medium voltage power station systems.
"As the main contractor for the Boundiali project, it was vital to find an ESS partner that could not only meet the technical requirements, but would also ensure that the system would operate reliably throughout a 10-year life," said Ludovic Bavière of Eiffage Energie Systems. "The quality of our discussions and a previous experience reassured us of Saft''s ability to carry out this strategic project for our client, CI-Energies."
Côte d''Ivoire had an installed electricity production capacity of 2229 MW in 2019 and is expected to double its production by 2030. Electricity supply is currently largely provided by thermal energy and hydroelectric dams. The government aims to make the country the energy hub of West Africa by 2030 with an energy mix of 42 percent renewables.
Boundiali, a city of around 40,000 in the north of Côte d''Ivoire, will soon be home to the country''s first solar power plant. It will produce clean electricity for around 30,000 households, avoid the emission of 27,000 tonnes of CO2, and will help create 300 jobs in the region.
The area is classified as a semi-arid zone with a hot and very dry climate. In addition to ensuring reliability and long-life in ambient temperatures that can reach 37°C, the battery containers are designed to resist hot and dusty winds.
