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

The report evaluates the Taïba N’Diaye wind farm in Senegal, comparing it to coal and heavy fuel oil (HFO) power generation. Using the SAVi methodology, it finds that while coal appears cheaper in conventional financial analyses, the wind farm is the most beneficial option when accounting for climate risks and external effects. The wind farm minimizes environmental impacts, maximizes socio-economic benefits such as job creation, and achieves a lower integrated Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) than the fossil fuel alternatives.

• The Taïba N’Diaye wind farm is designed to inject 158.7 MW of electricity into the Senegalese grid using 48 turbines installed on 49.5 hectares of former agricultural land in the Thiès region.
• Conventional cost-benefit analysis (Scenario 0) suggests coal is the cheapest option with an LCOE of 33,452 francs CFA/MWh, compared to 43,337 francs CFA/MWh for wind and 145,659 francs CFA/MWh for heavy fuel oil (HFO).
• When integrating climate risks and external effects (Scenario 2), the wind farm becomes the most affordable option with an LCOE of 43,266 francs CFA/MWh, while coal's LCOE rises to 52,998 francs CFA/MWh due to negative externalities like the social cost of carbon.
• The wind farm generates significantly more employment than fossil fuel alternatives, providing at least 66 full-time equivalent (FTE) jobs per year, compared to 15 for HFO and 11 for coal.
• Choosing the wind farm over HFO or coal could avoid the emission of 2.1 to 6 million tonnes of CO2eq between 2019 and 2042.
• In a holistic financial analysis (Scenario 2), the wind farm's Net Present Value (NPV) of 157.38 million USD surpasses that of coal (129.64 million USD), making it the more attractive sustainable investment.
• Heavy fuel oil (HFO) is deemed financially non-viable across all scenarios, with a life-cycle NPV of approximately -1 billion USD due to high fuel costs and combustion inefficiency.
• External effects for coal and HFO are two to three times higher than those for wind, with the social cost of carbon being a primary driver of these costs.
