Abstract :
This paper presents the feasibility study of replacing HFO power plants with LNG power plant, taking into account the balance of electricity supply and demand in the energy mix of Burkina Faso. The study consisted of calculating and comparing the optimal electricity production costs of each production mode and verifying the competitiveness of electricity production cost using LNG compared to HFO. The simulations results showed that LNG cost being less expensive than HFO cost, the production cost per kWh of electricity using LNG is very competitive compared to the production cost per kWh of electricity using HFO. Power plants running on LNG can replace HFO plants in electricity production in Burkina Faso. Switching to natural gas will optimize Burkina Faso's energy mix and ensure energy security at a compatible cost with household income. This will gradually reduce the country's dependence on imported electrical energy.

Keywords :
