On May 22, 2025, Axian Energy held the official ceremony to lay the foundation stone for the NEA Kolda solar power plant. This marks the beginning of the launch of work.

The NEA Kolda solar power plant is located in southern Senegal at Tankanto Escale, in the Kolda region, about 700 km from Dakar. This ceremony took place in the presence of the authorities of the Kolda region, alongside the local communities, the first beneficiaries of this high-impact project. This project is a major pillar of this ambition. The project is establishing itself as a regional reference in energy innovation, with an installed capacity of 60MW, complemented by a battery energy storage system (BESS) with a capacity of 72 MWh. The power plant will contribute to securing the electricity supply for more than 235,000 people while strengthening the resilience of the national grid in the face of peak consumption. This project reflects the authorities' commitment to cleaner, more accessible and more affordable energy.

The success of the project is based on close collaboration between key partners in the energy sector and leading investors. The overall cost of the investment now stands at nearly 105 million euros. The construction of all the energy production and storage infrastructures of the NEA Kolda project is entrusted to the Voltalia — Entech consortium, two leading players in the field of renewable

The project also includes an ambitious CSR action plan structured around five axes such as access to health, social and educational success, economic development, economic development, the promotion of sport and culture, and the management of climate change.
