Our History
From inception in 2013 to an ambitious project portfolio
Founded in 2013, Energy Resources Senegal (ERS) was born from the desire to actively contribute to the development of the energy sector in Senegal and West Africa.
From its very beginning, the company positioned itself as a committed player in the production and management of energy projects, with a strong focus on renewable energy. Through structuring projects such as the Kahone solar power plant, ERS has demonstrated its expertise and its ability to address today's energy challenges.
