The Energy of Cameroon S.A. (ENEO-CAMEROON S.A.), the successor to AES-SONEL, was set up on 12 September 2014 and manages the production of up to 1150 MW and the distribution of electrical energy in Cameroon. SONEL was the first national electricity company created on 18 May 1974 after the reunification of Cameroon.
Energy eficiency legislation or policy. Set and enforce ceilings on SAIDI and SAIFI as quality-of-service indicators. Electricity consumption in Cameroon is dominated by the industrial sector, which in 2019 accounted more than half of the demand (3905 GWh out the 6998 GWh - source: Enerdata).
Electricity needs are expected to continue rising over the next decade to reach 5000 MW by 2020 and 6000 MW by 2030. This paper seeks to address energy issues (reliability, accessibility and security) in Cameroon and brings to light the potential and meaningful contributions of renewables in solving energy concern.
