In its second phase, the project will install an additional 60 MWp of solar photovoltaic panels, also equipped with a 15-hour battery energy storage system. This will form a 120 MWp solar power plant spread over a 251 hectare site in the locality of Ayémé Plaine, located some thirty kilometres from the capital Libreville.

The Gabonese State has signed a partnership agreement with The Nature Conservancy, an international conservation organisation operating in Gabon, to provide support on questions relating to the environmental impacts of new energy projects.
The opportunities are immense, but so are the demands. Gabon’s urban population is growing at 3.3% annually, and we have committed to increasing the energy access for rural populations, whose current 38% electrification rate is meagre compared to urban areas, which have a rate of above 80%.
In a country 90% covered by forest and by thousands of waterways which receive significant rainfall nine months of the year, that means hydropower. Already, hydropower provides more than half (51%) of Gabon’s current 2,000GWh of electricity per year, from an installed capacity of 720MW.
Rural electrification is no easy task. Challenges include a sparse and scattered population, hilly terrain with a dense primary forest that complicates travel, and the absence of an operator to manage decentralised units. Nonetheless, World Bankstudies indicate that by 2040, Gabon will require an installed capacity of at least 1,250MW.
Nonetheless, World Bankstudies indicate that by 2040, Gabon will require an installed capacity of at least 1,250MW. However, closer to 1,850MW will be needed to power industrialisation where new processing enterprises will transform Gabon’s natural riches such as timber, manganese, and iron, which are currently exported as raw materials.
