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
In Bissau, solar photovoltaic (PV) plants will help reduce the average cost of electricity in the country and diversify the energy mix, while battery storage will help integrate this variable energy source into the grid. In Guinea Bissau, power sector projects are approved but seldom completed within a reasonable time frame. This situation
The World Bank has announced that it will support the development of Guinea-Bissau''s first solar power plants. Like other West African countries, Bissau wants to use this solution to decarbonise its electricity production and accelerate the electrification of its population. Guinea-Bissau wants to integrate solar energy into its electricity mix.

The solar project, for which Sinohydro signed the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract, involves three facilities. The first is a photovoltaic solar power plant to be built in Gardete, a town located 8km from the capital city, Bissau. The solar plant will sell power to the national utility EAGB under a long-term contract.
Specifically, Guinea-Bissau''s solar potential represents a lucrative industry that could not only meet domestic demand, but be used to tap into the West Africa Power Pool (WAPP). Therefore, the urgent need for alternative power generation solutions, coupled with the high number of people currently living without access to electricity, has
A 20MW solar photovoltaic power plant is set to be built in Guinea-Bissau. This is after the project tender was awarded to china''s Sinohydro Corporation. The contract was signed with Société Africaine des Biocarburants et des Energies Renouvelables (SABER)/African Biofuel and Renewable Energy Company (ABREC), a company promoting the
