Why Energy Storage Matters for Mali's Energy Future

In Mali, where energy access remains a critical challenge, the EDF Power Group is pioneering energy storage solutions to bridge the gap between renewable energy potential and reliable electricity supply. Think of storage systems as an "insurance policy" against blackouts – they store excess solar power during the day and release it when the sun isn't shining.

Key Applications Driving Demand

• Solar+Storage hybrid systems for off-grid communities
• Grid stabilization in urban centers like Bamako
• Backup power for healthcare facilities and schools
