Mali — Energy Infrastructure

OverWatts maps 16 energy assets in Mali across 4 layers — the 137th-largest mapped base of 157 countries. They include 8 power plants, 6 cement plants and 1 interconnectors. Operating generation capacity is 440 MW, led by hydro at 77%.

The companies named on the most assets are NovaWind (3), Ciments de L'Afrique (2) and Omnium des industries et de la promotion (2), counting both ownership and operatorship. Half of Mali's mapped assets in service predate 2019 (median commissioning year of the 5 with a known date), 4 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is Manantali hydroelectric plant, dating from 2002. 8 projects are under construction or proposed, led by Sanankoroba 200MW solar farm (200 MW).
