Jinko ESS, a global leading energy storage provider and a subsidiary of Jinko Solar Co., Ltd., has announced a major milestone in the West African market to successfully secure 15MWh of SunGiga liquid-cooled energy storage systems to Senegal. The systems will be deployed across 45 remote villages, enabling distributed off girds powered by advanced energy storage technology. The project will bring reliable nighttime electricity to tens of thousands of residents and address long-standing challenges of power shortages and unstable supply.
Given the scattered locations of the 45 villages, limited infrastructure, and the region’s extremely hot climate, Jinko ESS provided a highly customized solution. The SunGiga 261kWh storage system features a high level of integration and a modular design that significantly reduces transportation complexity and installation costs in remote areas—making it ideal for decentralized rural off grid applications. Equipped with an intelligent liquid-cooling thermal management system, SunGiga ensures temperature uniformity and operational stability even under West Africa’s harsh heat conditions. This guarantees continuous and reliable power delivery, providing long-term energy security for the villages.
“The Senegal project marks an important milestone in our commitment to expanding energy accessibility across Africa,” said Asif S.W., Head of Sales at Jinko ESS for the MEA & CA region. “Africa is a key region in the global energy transition, and Jinko ESS will continue to focus on real-world needs and localized applications. Through technological innovation and scenario-based solutions, we aim to help more remote communities overcome electricity shortages while supporting the region’s renewable energy development and grid optimization.”
