Kénié Hydropower Project

Support: Project Design Document
Partner : Government of Mali, Direction Nationale de l’Energie
Contact : M. Oumar SIDIBE, Chargé de projet de barrage hydroelectrique

Project description :

The Kénié hydropower project is being developed and co-financed by the Government of Mali, Ministry of Energy, Water and Mines, under a BOOT scheme. The project is located on the Niger River between the cities of Bamako and Koulikoro. A detailed feasibility, engineering, and environmental study has been completed for the project and the Government is currently negotiating with partners for the financing and construction of the project. Kénié will have total power capacity of 56 MW and an average annual generation of 178 GWh and is estimated to cost US$96.3 million (Year 2000 dollars). It will be based on a run-of-river scheme, taking advantage of the natural topography and geology of the Niger River, using existing rock ledges and natural channels for water flow control. The project will afford an increase in electrification access to residential and industrial customers in the Sikasso and Koutiala regions.
 

Project to Commercialize and Disseminate Low-Energy Light Bulbs

Support: Project Information Document
Partner : ECO’HOME sarl., Imm. Koniba Niaré, rue Titi Niaré, BP 2838 Bamako Mali.
Contact : M. Alassane TRAORE (engineer), gestionaire

Project description :

The ECO’HOME company was created in 2002. Under the framework of AMADER’s (the Malian Rural Electrification Agency) "stratégie de l’énergie domestique" ECO’HOME is working to disseminate and commercialize the market for low-energy consumption light bulbs working through 14 vendor agents in Bamako. This demonstration project targets the diffusion of 250,000 energy saving units, and seeks to establish “proof of concept” in Mali for applying carbon investment revenue toward the market expansion of demand-side energy efficient products and services.


SoSuMar Bagasse Cogeneration Projects

Support: Project Information Document
Partner : Société Sucrière de Markala/SoSuMar S.A., BP 37 Segou, Mali
Contact : Mr Harouna NIANG, gestionaire

Project description :

This public-private partnership is developing a new sugar processing plant based on the cultivation of 15,000 hectares of irrigated lands situated north of the Niger River about 17 Km from the town of Markala. The CDM Green Facility is assisting the project partners to develop a PIN for a 30 MW cogeneration plant using the bagasse waste associated with the processing of the sugar cane. The CDM project would avoid the use of expensive, dirtier diesel-powered generators on site, and provide for surplus clean energy for the surrounding area. In addition, it would result in the avoidance of powerful methane emissions from the bagasse that would have been disposed of in the field rather than being used in the production of steam and power. Implementation of the project is expected to result in the direct employment of a large number of Malians for skilled work related to the plant operation and maintenance.
