An OTEC plant can generate electricity at a load factor of 95% throughout the year. This ocean energy project will contribute to the National Renewable Energy Action Plan of the island state, aiming at a renewable energy penetration of 70% in the electricity mix by 2030, mainly based on solar photovoltaics and small hydro power.
The island of Principe has solar irradiation levels that range from 700 to 1000 kWh/m 2 /year. The average daily photovoltaic power output is 3.72 kWh per installed kWp [ 82 ]. Fig. 18 shows a map of the solar resources on the island.
Solar power is the fastest growing energy source in the archipelago. A large portfolio of new renewable energy projects are planned [ 80, 85 ]. The most remarkable is the previously mentioned Conolophus project on Santa Cruz Island (14.8 MWp and 40.9 MWh batteries).
As the demand for electricity grew, the country ceased the development of new projects for hydropower, and increased the installation of diesel generator units. Some of the mini hydropower plants started to degrade due to lack of proper maintenance. This was the case for the plant installed on the Papagaio river of Principe Island.
Tourism and population growth will continue to pressure energy demand in most archipelagos in the coming years. A roadmap is necessary to replace the importation of diesel with local renewable sources, in which PV solar stands out as the most abundant and most economically viable option.
