Energy challenges in Burkina Faso: Overcoming obstacles through innovation
Authors
Vincent Zoma
Abstract
Access to energy is a major challenge in
Burkina Faso, with only 22.5% of the population benefiting from electricity,
particularly in rural areas. This highlights the need to develop innovative
solutions to improve energy supply. The aim of this study is to explore how
technological innovation can be used as a lever to overcome these energy
obstacles. The research based on the literature review shows that solar
technologies, thanks to exceptional sunshine, and micro-grids are particularly
well suited to the needs of rural communities. Storage systems, particularly
batteries, help to optimise the use of renewable energies, while digital
technologies facilitate the management and monitoring of energy resources.
However, challenges remain, such as insufficient infrastructure and an unclear
regulatory framework, requiring a concerted commitment between the public and
private sectors to promote the successful and inclusive implementation of
energy technologies.
