en.Wedoany.com Reported - Toyota Tsusho of Japan has secured an order from Benin Electric Power Production Company to deploy battery energy storage systems for three solar power plants in Benin. The Benin solar-plus-storage project has a storage capacity of 50 MW/160 MWh, serving the grid-connected operation and power regulation needs of solar power plants in the West African region.

The total cost of the project is €48.6 million, and the order party is under the Benin Ministry of Energy and Water system. The three solar power plants are located in the Pobe region, with a combined solar capacity of 75 MW, including a 25 MW solar power plant commissioned by Toyota Tsusho in March 2026. Once completed, the energy storage system will be used to improve the output stability of the solar power plants and enhance local grid absorption conditions.

German engineering company Eiffage RMT will collaborate with Toyota Tsusho on engineering, procurement, and construction work. The Benin solar-plus-storage project is scheduled for completion in September 2027. With the 50 MW/160 MWh energy storage system entering construction arrangements, demand for solar power generation, battery storage, grid connection control, and power plant operation and maintenance in Benin will continue to grow.
