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 Fasos energy mix and ensure energy security at a compatible cost with household income. This will gradually reduce the countrys dependence on imported electrical energy. KY J. B. | Tissologo M. | Ouedraogo S. | Nikiema O. | Ouattara F.
