Bamako – September 12, 2026 -- DoGo Power has officially entered the Malian market, deploying grid-forming energy storage systems (ESS) for commercial and industrial (C&I) users and utility-scale power plants as the country's national electrification rate remains below 50%, dropping under 30% in rural areas.
Diesel supplies more than 80% of Mali's electricity, driving up costs and outages
More than 80% of Mali's power generation currently relies on diesel, a costly fuel source, while frequent blackouts tied to weak grid stability have become a major constraint on local economic development. Mali averages over 3,000 hours of sunshine annually, providing a strong resource base for solar-plus-storage deployment.
DoGo Power's storage systems target hybrid PV-storage-diesel configurations
The company's grid-forming ESS is designed to maintain uninterrupted power to critical loads during grid fluctuations or outages. The systems also support hybrid photovoltaic-storage-diesel configurations intended to cut diesel dependence and raise green energy consumption, while adapting flexibly to isolated and weak grid conditions.
DoGo Power sets up local service teams as first product shipment reaches port
As part of a long-term localization strategy, DoGo Power will partner with local industry players to expand green energy access and accelerate grid modernization in Mali. The company is establishing local service and technical support teams responsible for solution customization across the full lifecycle, including deployment, operations and maintenance. The first batch of DoGo Power products has arrived at port, marking the initial delivery under the company's Mali market entry.
DoGo Power stated the move marks a decisive step in its broader African market strategy, with plans to iteratively optimize tailored storage solutions by drawing on industrial chain strengths and local capabilities.
