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

This report presents a Sustainable Asset Valuation (SAVi) assessment of the Taïba N’Diaye wind farm in Senegal. It compares the wind project against heavy fuel oil (HFO) and coal technologies, integrating traditional financial metrics with environmental, social, and economic externalities and climate risks. The analysis concludes that while coal may appear cheaper in conventional assessments, the wind farm is the most beneficial option when accounting for social costs of carbon, job creation, and climate resilience.

• The Taïba N’Diaye wind farm is designed to inject 158.7 MW of electricity into the Senegalese grid using 48 turbines across 49.5 hectares of former agricultural land in the Thiès region. The project has an expected lifespan of 20 years and a total estimated cost of nearly 185 billion francs CFA (330.36 million US dollars), with an initial investment of 124.5 billion francs CFA (222.4 million US dollars).
• Conventional cost-benefit analysis (Scenario 0) suggests that coal is the least expensive option at 33,452 francs CFA (57 US dollars) per MWh, compared to 43,337 francs CFA (74 US dollars) per MWh for wind. Heavy fuel oil (HFO) is the most expensive at 145,659 francs CFA (249 US dollars) per MWh due to high fuel costs.
