NovaWind, the wind energy company of Russia’s Rosatom state corporation, issued a tender seeking a contractor to analyze the energy system of Mali and identify promising sites for the construction of renewable energy facilities in the country, according to the company's procurement documents.The analysis will consist of two stages. First, the current state of Mali’s energy system must be analyzed, and a list of promising sites for the construction of renewable energy facilities must be determined, taking into account the increase in the volume of generation of renewable energy sources until 2030.At the second stage, the optimal location for the construction of the facilities must be identified, taking into account the future energy balance of Mali until 2040.The tender did not, however, disclose the capacity of future facilities. But NovaWind suggested in its documents that they evaluate whether they will cover the load schedule of Mali's energy system, considering the emergence of high-capacity solar and wind power plants in the country.It will also be necessary to access the parallel energy interconnection of West Africa (namely Senegal and Cote d'Ivoire, with which Mali has a flow of electricity and power) operates properly, taking into account the integration of solar and wind power plants into the Mali energy system.Last week, another Russian initiative in West Africa became known. The Russian Environmental Operator announced that it can supply waste processing equipment to Ghana or build a facility there. Aside from that, other possible options for cooperation in creating a waste management system in the African country were discussed during the meeting between the company's CEO, Denis Butsayev, and the Ambassador of Ghana to Russia, Lesley Akyaa Opoku-Ware.

Russia's Rosatom’s Company Considering Construction of Renewable Energy Facilities in Mali

The main obstacles to the development of the renewable energy sector in Mali are related to low power generation and transmission capacities, as well as the weak development of national energy resources, according to Ministry of Energy and Water Resources. Perhaps a new possible Russian project will help combat these difficulties.
NovaWind, the wind energy company of
Russia’s
Rosatom state corporation, issued a tender seeking a contractor to analyze the energy system of Mali and identify promising sites for the construction of renewable energy facilities in the country, according to the company's procurement
documents.
The analysis will consist of two stages. First, the current state of Mali’s energy system must be analyzed, and a list of promising sites for the construction of
renewable energy facilities must be determined, taking into account the increase in the volume of generation of renewable energy sources until 2030.
At the second stage, the optimal location for the construction of the facilities must be identified, taking into account the future energy balance of Mali until 2040.
The tender did not, however, disclose the capacity of future facilities. But NovaWind suggested in its documents that they evaluate whether they will cover the load schedule of Mali's
energy system, considering the emergence of high-capacity
solar and wind power plants in the country.
It will also be necessary to access the parallel energy interconnection of West Africa (namely
Senegal and Cote d'Ivoire, with which Mali has a flow of
electricity and power) operates properly, taking into account the integration of solar and wind power plants into the Mali energy system.
Last week, another Russian initiative in West Africa became known. The Russian Environmental Operator
announced that it can supply waste processing equipment to Ghana or build a facility there. Aside from that, other possible options for cooperation in creating a waste management system in the African country were discussed during the meeting between the company's CEO, Denis Butsayev, and the Ambassador of Ghana to Russia, Lesley Akyaa Opoku-Ware.
