The Ivorian energy landscape is recording a significant breakthrough. In July 2026, authorities officially inaugurated the Sokoro 2 solar power plant, better known as Ferké Solar. Located in Ferkessédougou, in the Tchologo region, this photovoltaic production unit represents an important lever for the country's energy transition. With a capacity of 52 MWp, the Sokoro 2 plant is the result of a massive investment of 41 billion CFA francs. This achievement is part of the Ivorian state's global vision aimed at strengthening and securing the national energy mix. Beyond the technical aspect, this facility is crucial for the local populations of Tchologo, as it promises a notable improvement in access to electricity in an area where public service infrastructure needs remain a priority. By betting on this renewable resource, the government confirms its desire to reduce dependence on fossil fuels while supporting regional economic development. While the commissioning of this plant is confirmed, the long-term impact on the stability of the national electricity grid remains an issue that the authorities are monitoring closely to support the region's industrial and domestic growth.
