China’s DoGo Power has expanded into Mali, launching grid-forming energy storage solutions for commercial & industrial (C&I) and utility-scale power stations
Guided by a long-term localisation strategy, the company said in a statement that it will partner with local industry players to expand green energy access and accelerate Mali's power system upgrade and low-carbon transition.
“This move marks a key milestone in DoGo Power's Africa market strategy,” the statement read.
“The company will build local service and technical support teams covering full-cycle solution customisation, delivery and O&M, aligning its proven grid-forming technology with local power development needs.”
It added: “With its first batch of products arriving at port, DoGo Power will continue to deepen its presence in Mali and the wider African market.”
In April, DoGo Power held a partnership recruitment event in Mali, to bring together representatives from local government departments, key enterprises, investment institutions, industry consulting agencies and local media, to discuss development opportunities in North Africa’s energy storage market.
Mali faces severe energy supply constraints: national electrification coverage stands below 50% (less than 30% in rural areas), with over 80% of generation coming from costly diesel fuel.
Frequent outages caused by weak grid stability have become a major bottleneck for local development and industrial users.Meanwhile, the country's annual average of over 3,000 hours of sunshine lays a solid foundation for solar-plus-storage growth.
“Adapted to Mali's grid conditions, DoGo Power’s intelligent grid-forming energy storage solutions ensure uninterrupted power for critical loads during grid fluctuations or outages, and support PV-storage-diesel hybrid configurations to cut diesel reliance and increase green energy consumption, flexibly catering to off-grid and weak-grid demands,” the company’s statement noted.
“Leveraging full industrial chain strengths and localised capabilities, it will iteratively optimise tailored storage solutions to help build a more stable, cleaner and inclusive modern power system in Mali, serving as a trusted long-term technology partner for the region's energy transition.”
