Washington — The World Bank''s Board of Executive Directors approved a $35 million grant to enable solar power generation and increase access to electricity in Guinea-Bissau. The Guinea-Bissau Solar Energy Scale-up and Access Project will work on the development of solar energy generation and network enhancement, including the preparation and
The solar hybrid plant will supply electricity to the local population via a medium and low-voltage line. The entire solar and hybrid project is being financed to the tune of $42.9 million by the Government of Guinea-Bissau with a loan from the West African Development Bank (BOAD). This financing was granted as early as 2017.
Through this implementation, was possible to implement greater access to electricity in rural areas, promoting better community services and reliable and safe energy for families in 609 villages in the regions of Bafatá, Quinara,
A Chinese state-owned company has been contracted to build Guinea-Bissau''s first large scale photovoltaic project, the Gardete solar power plant. The African Biofuel and Renewable Energy Company (ABREC), which promotes renewables and energy efficiency in several countries, has awarded the contract to China''s hydropower entity, Sinohydro.
The Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP) contributed $2.65 million, and the Green Climate Fund (GCF) supported it with $10.5 million. The Guinea-Bissau Solar Energy Scale-up and Access Project is designed to enhance solar energy infrastructure by creating utility-scale solar parks and upgrading current solar grid systems.
Guinea Bissau – one of the poorest and countries in the world – with support of the GEF and other key partners, has renewable energy projects investment opportunities covering technology areas such as medium-scale grid-connected solar PV, solar PV hybrid mini-grid systems (between 312 to 500 kW), PV stand-alone and bio-electricity systems
The expected results in the energy sector are: installing 500 solar street lamps, reducing energy loss, finalising the 225-kV western backbone interconnection line in the Gambia basin and developing renewable energy.
The African Power Platform aims to connect private and government stakeholders in Africa''s power sector. The platform helps circulate and propagate tenders, intelligence and business opportunities to its members. Developers, power producers, ministries, utilities, regulators, financiers, and other like-minded individuals can join APP to share possible solutions and
But the energy mix – the balance of sources of energy in the supply – is becoming increasingly important as countries try to shift away from fossil fuels towards low-carbon sources of energy (nuclear or renewables including hydropower, solar and wind).
