CENTRALE DE BOKHOL

75,000 photovoltaic panels cover 40 hectares of arid land. In a region where the sun shines for over 2,000 hours a year, this solar power plant is a godsend for the inhabitants, 60% of whom have no access to electricity. With a capacity of 20 megawatts, it now supplies electricity to around 160,000 people! This large-scale photovoltaic field has since been dethroned as the largest power plant in West Africa by the Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed plant in Togo, with 127,344 panels and a capacity of 50 megawatts.
