The 5 MW solar power plant, located on the island of Santiago, was built with the support of the World Bank and the European Investment Bank (EIB). The project was part of Cape Verde’s efforts to transition to a more sustainable and resilient energy system.
Electricity in Cape Verde is primarily produced by thermal power stations running on heavy fuel or diesel (97%). There is also a small percentage (3%) of wind energy production. ELECTRA, the national electricity company, operates all over the country, managing 18 diesel power stations of different capacities (with a total capacity of).
The REIUP project is expected to contribute significantly to achieving this target. In recent years, Cape Verde has made significant progress in promoting renewable energy sources. The country has been investing in wind and solar energy projects, and in 2019, inaugurated the largest solar power plant in West Africa.
The scope of the work involves the construction of a 1.3 MWp solar park in Fogo, an island located in the southern part of the archipelago. Additionally, a 1.2 MWp solar power plant will be built on Santo Antão, and two 0.4 MW solar power plants will be constructed on the islands of São Nicolau and Maio.
