en.Wedoany.com Reported - On April 2, 2026, the Phase I project of the Mali Safo Photovoltaic (PV) Energy Storage Power Station, jointly constructed by PowerChina's Sinohydro Bureau 16 and Jiangxi Electric Power Design Institute, officially launched its "100-Day Intensive Construction Campaign". The project team plans to comprehensively complete the construction tasks of the three core sections—the PV array area, the step-up substation, and the collection lines—through 100 days of concentrated construction, ensuring the project achieves its grid-connection and power generation target on schedule.
Located in West Africa's Mali, this power station is a crucial project for the country's energy structure transformation. As the consortium contractor, Sinohydro Bureau 16 and Jiangxi Electric Power Design Institute possess extensive experience in overseas power construction. This intensive campaign aims to address challenges in the complex West African construction environment and long resource allocation cycles by employing a strategy of "foundation first, overlapping operations."
The project department has established a three-tier management responsibility system to dynamically allocate personnel and mechanical equipment. To enhance execution efficiency, the site implements a "daily inspection, weekly reporting" visual management model, strictly controlling the quality of incoming materials to mitigate potential fluctuations in the cross-border supply chain.
According to publicly available information, Mali's power supply has long relied on imports and fossil fuels. The commissioning of the Safo PV Energy Storage Project will significantly alleviate the tight power supply situation in Mali's capital, Bamako, and surrounding areas. This project is not only a key achievement in China-Africa energy cooperation but will also provide technical parameter support for Mali's subsequent large-scale new energy policy development.
Currently, all project resources have been deployed. With the advancement of the 100-day campaign, it is expected that the project will secure its completion window ahead of schedule, further enhancing the brand influence of Chinese enterprises in the West African solar energy market.
