Senegal, a deliberate strategic choice

Senegal is now establishing itself as a regional model in terms of energy transition.

With 30% of renewable energy already integrated and a target of 40% by 2030, the country is attracting many international players.

In his speech, Actia Energy's Managing Director Philippe Dessy confirmed that Dakar represents an ideal gateway for Actia Energy's expansion in West Africa.

"Senegal is a visionary country in the energy transition. Our mission is to listen to the needs of local stakeholders and to propose solutions that are adapted, innovative and sustainable."

A definite interest for local operators

On the Senelec side, Fapy Séne, a SCADA engineer, believes that the proposed solutions could strengthen the performance of the national company in order to meet the objectives of network automation and improvement of energy quality.

Business France, a key partner for Actia Energy's expansion
