Key Figures & Findings: Orange Foundation, in collaboration with the Yirwal Mopti Association, has commissioned a self-consumption solar power plant at Sominé Dolo Hospital in Mopti, central Mali. . A study published in August 2025 by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) reveals that 54% of community health centers surveyed in Mali use a solar photovoltaic system with batteries as their primary energy source. Additionally, 95% of the country's reference health centers have. . In 2024, 75% of health facilities have reliable electricity access, 20% have unreliable supply, and 4% do not have access to electricity. Countries like Mali are turning towards solar power to meet critical energy needs in various sectors, notably healthcare. A key milestone in this vision was achieved with the official launch of a solar electrification system. . The 20ft energy storage container solution (1MWh/200kW) we provided for the African hospital uses a PV + energy storage system, which enables the hospital to make full use of the energy storage system to store electricity during the day and supply power at night while generating photovoltaic power. .
