Évaluation des actifs durables (SAVi) du parc éolien de Taïba N’Diaye au Sénégal

This fact sheet describes a Sustainable Asset Valuation (SAVi) assessment of the Taïba N’Diaye wind farm in Senegal, commissioned by the Bureau Opérationnel du Suivi (BOS) of Plan Émergent Sénégal. The analysis compares the wind farm's financial and societal performance against coal and heavy fuel oil (HFO) power generation, incorporating climate risks and external effects that are typically omitted from traditional financial analyses.

• The Taïba N’Diaye wind farm is projected to generate 158.7 MW of electricity for the power grid, with construction having commenced in January 2019.
• Compared to fossil fuel alternatives, the wind farm project creates significantly more employment and produces far fewer lifecycle emissions. It is estimated to create 66 full-time equivalent (FTE) jobs per year, compared to 15 for heavy fuel oil (HFO) and 11 for coal. Lifecycle emissions for the wind project are 0.1 million tonnes of carbon dioxide, whereas coal produces 6.1 million tonnes.
• When accounting for climate risks and external effects, the wind farm has the lowest Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) at 43,266 CFA francs per MWh (74 USD per MWh). This is lower than coal (52,998 CFA francs/MWh or 91 USD/MWh) and significantly lower than HFO (155,728 CFA francs/MWh or 267 USD/MWh).
• Traditional financial analysis (Scenario 0) suggests coal is more attractive due to a higher Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 23.53% compared to the wind farm's 12.17%, largely because the wind farm's capital expenditures are more than double those of coal. However, in Scenario 2, which includes climate risks and external effects, the Net Present Value (NPV) of the wind farm exceeds that of coal, indicating higher 'societal value'.
