Abstract: The city of Ouagadougou is the most important economic, spatial and demographic city in Burkina Faso. This agglomeration is the capital of the country; it is the chief town of the Centre region, of the Kadiogo province and of the urban commune to which it belongs. The population that it houses develops it according to their needs and capacity. However, these developments do not follow the capacity of basic social services such as electricity distribution. The analysis of the sustainable city point of view shows that the use of solar energy is a sustainable palliative solution for the electricity needs in the city of Ouagadougou. The present investigation is essentially based on documentary and field research; it aims at assessing the contribution of solar energy in the development of the city of Ouagadougou in Burkina Faso. Thus, it has emerged the urgency that policies on access to energy must fully integrate the logic of sustainable city and that Ouagadougou should benefit more from solar energy supply for an economy more respectful of environmental standards and sustainable.
