The 30-month programme aims to

Guinea-Bissau: Sinohydro wins contract to build solar power

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.

Energy a key component of Country Strategy for Guinea-Bissau

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. This will enable Guinea-Bissau to increase the contribution of renewable energy to its total supply mix from 0 to 36%.

EPC awarded for large scale generation project in Guinea-Bissau

The entire solar and hybrid project is being financed by the Government of Guinea-Bissau with a $42.9 million loan from the West African Development Bank (BOAD). This financing was granted as early as 2017. The solar project, for which Sinohydro signed the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract, involves three facilities.

Guinea-Bissau unleashes massive solar power initiative to combat energy

Upon completion, the solar power project is expected to transform Guinea-Bissau''s energy sector by increasing the electrification rate in the country. Currently, only 33% of the population has access to electricity, with a slightly higher rate in the capital city. The launch of large-scale solar power plants in Guinea-Bissau marks a

Guinea''s Solar Promise

But as a result of its government''s openness and willingness to reform, Guinea has secured its first bankable solar-power investment. This is a major energy milestone that is likely to lead to the construction of the country''s first solar-power plant. This achievement offers important lessons for energy sectors across West Africa.
