Several institutional frameworks in the energy sector in Benin are working to provide access to affordable energy in the country. The ME is the biggest institution of the energy sector, responsible for the management of the energy sector and in charge of the implementation of RE projects.
In Benin, the energy sector strategy is aimed at improving the energy independence of the country and diversifying its sources of supply through the implementation of various interconnection projects with neighbouring countries and the enhancement of the national RE potential.
In addition, the Vossa hydroelectric power plant of 60.2 MW is to be built with an annual production capacity of 188.2 GWh. An additional hydroelectric plant is planned to be installed in Bétérou to increase the national electricity production in Benin . Bioenergy can also play a crucial role in the energy sector in Benin.
Recommendations are made for the benefit of the government, the private sector and other actors in order to developing the RE potential of Benin. Energy is one of the key factors affecting the economic growth of a nation. It is crucial for carrying out daily activities such as cooking, lighting, heating and operation of industrial machinery .
However, the government of Benin is making serious efforts to increase local production through national projects, specifically the Solar Energy Promotion Project (PROVES) and the Renewable Energy Development Program (PRODERE) . The principal RE sources in Benin are hydro energy, biomass energy, wind energy and solar energy.
In 2019, in terms of the affordability of electricity for consumers, Benin obtained a score of 81 out of 100 compared with the average value, which is 77.25 out of 100 . The government of Benin plans to continue its efforts to make electricity accessible to the population and ensure energy self-sufficiency .

Ministry of Power has, in April 2023, notified the guidelines to promote pumped storage projects. The Report on "Pumped Storage Plants - essential for India''s Energy Transition" recommends measures to contribute to the development of pumped storage projects in India. FROM THE DESK OF DIRECTOR GENERAL Dr. Vibha Dhawan Director General
Energy Storage: In pumped storage systems, dams create reservoirs that store water. When we need power, release the water, and there you go – electricity. The paper in the Journal of Energy Storage titled " Mapping the potential for pumped storage using existing lower reservoirs" highlights the significance of Dams in Pumped Hydropower Storage (PHS) systems. It …
The Central Electricity Authority of India (CEA) is fast-tracking two large-scale pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) projects totalling 2,600MW of power. In an announcement on Friday (2 August), the CEA said it has ''accorded concurrence'' to the two proposed long-duration energy storage (LDES) facilities, which are both being developed by state …

The project will be completed within 30 months. Energy company Greenko Group officially inaugurated the construction of its massive 1,440-megawatt (MW) pumped hydro storage project in Madhya Pradesh, the largest in India.
Energy storage allows systems to shift supply to match demand. In residential contexts, peak load on a minigrid often occurs in the evening when customers return home from work. Because solar PV panels only generate during the day, batteries or generators are needed to serve this demand. Energy storage can strengthen the grid in many ways.
The project was granted Critical State Significant Infrastructure (CSSI) status by the state in 2020. Image: New South Wales government. Energy generator and retailer Alinta Energy has penned an early contractor agreement for the 7.2GWh Oven Mountain pumped hydro energy storage (PHES) project in New South Wales, Australia.
