It combines photovoltaic solar energy with hydroelectricity produced in Guinea, reduces the need for thermal energy and reduces the cost of electricity,” said Jean-Marc Mateos, President of the Solveo Group. Guinea’s has a national electrification rate of 35.4%.
The solar energy facility will be the first grid-connected solar photovoltaic (PV) array in Guinea. The project is being developed by InfraCo Africa with the support of Aldwych Africa Developments Ltd, in partnership with experienced French solar PV developer, Solvéo Energie S.A.S, a subsidiary of Solvéo Developpement.
The combination of hydro and solar energy will help in maximising delivery of renewable energy to the national grid. The Khoumagueli Solar plant is expected to mitigate against the impact of fluctuating rainfall on hydro power generation at the Garafiri plant.
The project is being developed by InfraCo Africa with the support of Aldwych Africa Developments Ltd, in partnership with experienced French solar PV developer, Solvéo Energie S.A.S, a subsidiary of Solvéo Developpement. The companies bring complementary skills and knowledge to the project.
The Khoumagueli Solar plant is expected to mitigate against the impact of fluctuating rainfall on hydro power generation at the Garafiri plant. “The Khoumagueli Solar project contributes to the energy transition on the African continent.
Guinea has a national electrification rate of 35.4%. Guinea’s electricity supply is largely derived from hydropower, which can be susceptible to seasonal fluctuations in rainfall: 84% of businesses report power outages causing financial losses equivalent to about 4.7% of annual sales.
