indicating a very strong technical feasibility for solar in the country. ''Guinea-Bissau is planning to construct a 20 MW solar PV power plant near Bissau and two 1 MW hybrid mini-grid systems in Gabu and Cachungo. 9 ''By 2030 around 9% of the population will be served by renewable energy-based hybrid mini-grids and stand-alone systems. 9
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.
The World Bank Group (WBG) has launched a tender for consultants to conduct feasibility studies on four solar photovoltaic plants to be developed near Bissau, Gabu, Cacheu and Bafata. Expression of interests are due to be submitted by 25 May.
By tapping into the country''s significant solar potential, stakeholders will initiate a number of socio-economic benefits. Firstly, solar could help alleviate energy poverty across the country. By focusing investment and development in solar, Guinea could boost electrification and enhance the living conditions of millions of people.
Khoumagueli will be Guinea''s first grid-connected solar PV power project.
