01The Generation Foundation
130 MW of new dispatchable power — the foundation of the network
Before the smart network comes the power base. BaSuka's generation-first strategy begins with four utility-scale power plants delivering 130 MW of reliable, dispatchable electricity for the national grid, industry, mining, agriculture, businesses, and homes.

Generation-First Strategy
Four power plants form the dependable base that unlocks smart-grid distribution, storage, swappable batteries, and clean mobility — sequenced so every advanced service is enabled by firm capacity.
Strategic Fuel Partnerships
Diversified fuel supply and high-efficiency, lower-emission technologies — backed by disciplined environmental and social safeguards aligned with international standards.
Energy Sovereignty
Reliable national power drives industrialization, job creation, and long-term economic resilience — an end-to-end platform built for Africa, owned in purpose by its people.
Operational Excellence
International-standard operations and a professional, women-led workforce keep the network reliable, safe, and bankable from day one.
This sequencing is deliberate: dependable generation first, then the integrated energy ecosystem it powers. BaSuka's generation foundation strengthens grid reliability and unlocks the industrial and commercial activity that clean-energy services build on.

03The Problem
Why Africa Needs a Smart Electricity Network
The energy gap in West Africa is real and urgent. BaSuka solves the three interconnected barriers which prevent electric mobility adoption — making clean electricity accessible where it matters most.
01
The Grid-Access Gap
- Over 80% of Burkina Faso lacks reliable electricity access.
- BaSuka Solution: Solar-powered stations provide energy independence.
02
Professional Swap Stations
- Zero professional battery swap stations exist — BaSuka is building the first network.
- BaSuka Solution: Yennenga Warriors operate professional stations.
03
Battery Cost Barrier
- Batteries represent 60-80% of EV vehicle cost.
- BaSuka Solution: Pay-per-swap eliminates ownership costs.
04The Solution
The BaSuka Advantage
Six unmatched advantages that power Africa's clean energy transition
01
Data Management System
Real-time network optimization using IoT data to monitor battery health, location, and station demand across Africa.
02
BaSuka Academy
Professional energy infrastructure training. Module-based learning in PV systems, IoT monitoring, and leadership for our future station managers.
03
Swap & Glow™ Stations
Solar-first, Sahel-rugged stations designed for extreme heat and dust. Vertical battery swapping reduces swap time to under 60 seconds — faster than traditional charging.
04
Multi-Use Platform
The same SIRA™ battery powers JOLA™ electric bikes, tricycles, commercial kiosks, and household appliances. One battery type serves multiple use cases, maximizing utilization.
05
<60 Second Swaps
Instant energy exchange. Riders arrive, swap their depleted SIRA™ battery for a fully charged one, and get back to work in under a minute.
06
Women-Led Infrastructure
Yennenga Warriors are not a CSR initiative — they are the operational core. Professionally trained women manage stations, handle customer relationships, and lead community engagement.
