In Bissau and Gabu, solar photovoltaic (PV) plants will help reduce the average cost of electricity and diversify the energy mix. Battery storage will help integrate this variable energy source into the grid. In Bafata, Gabu, and Cacheu, the PV plants will provide cheaper and cleaner local power generation than current diesel production.
As of today, the most popular solar application is the rural individual photovoltaic system that has been exploited in Guinea Bissau for the producing electricity to power houses, schools, offices and hospitals or health centers. Solar water pumping is the second most installed solar application in GB (Ex. PRS I and II in Table 2).

By 2035, the average electricity generation cost in Guinea Bissau is estimated to be reduced to US$ 0.12/kWh. As part of the OMVG interconnection project, Guinea Bissau will benefit from the electricity production of hydroelectric projects under development in Guinea.
Guinea Bissau receives a capacity of 27.5 MW and an energy share of 167 GWh per year from the Kaléta (240MW) and Soaupiti (480MW) hydropower plants. The Power Purchase Agreement was signed in December 2019.
