Access to electricity in Cabo Verde reached 93% in 2018 from 87.1% in 2012 though in rural areas access remains below the national average (83.1%). Renewable energy accounts for 20.3% of total supply and an electricity sector Master Plan (2018-2040) was designed to help achieve 50% of renewable energy generation by 2030. This notwithstanding ...
Cape Verde can meet its goal of 50% renewables today by integrating energy storage. A 100% Renewable System is achieved from 2026, with a 20 year cost from 68 to 107 M€. Current paradigm doubles emissions in 20 years and costs ranges from 71 to 107 M€. The optimal configuration achieves 90% renewable shares with a cost from 50 to 75 M€.
In 2012 Cape Verde had an installed electricity generation capacity of around 300 MW, of which about 24% from wind power plants and 3% from photovoltaic stations. While solar power has an enormous potential as a source of renewable energy, natural conditions in Cape Verde are one of the best in the world for the production on wind energy.
City of Praia, 16 November 2018 The Cape Verde power sector master plan that defines the country sector development strategy until 2040 was presented in the city of Praia in Santiago. The project was developed by an international team of consultants leaded by Gesto.
Cape Verde energy sector is strongly characterized by consumption of fossil fuels (derived oil-primary imported oil), biomass (wood) and use of renewable energy particularly wind and solar power.
Nevertheless, we discarded this due to the fact that the grid in Cape Verde is currently in expansion and this process is expected to continue during the foreseeable future following criterias related to energy access and political will, rather than techno-economical feasibility. Thus, falling out of scope.
In the case of Cape Verde, there is one study evaluating the wave energy potential which highlights the resource available, particularly for the northern islands, such as São Vicente . Unfortunately, the study identifies the wave resource to match that of the wind.
