Guinea solar power storage devices
Two towns in Guinea, a country in West Africa which grapples with issues of energy security, are reaping the benefits of newly installed solar PV (photovoltaic) mini-grids backed with battery
Translated into household equivalents, the 84 MW project could supply more than 360,000 families. The solar plants will contribute substantially to Guinea's overall goal of producing 30% of its energy from renewable sources by 2030, a key part of the country's commitment to the Paris Agreement.
The two plants will make Guinea's energy system stronger, greener and more reliable, bringing an extremely affordable new energy source into a historically fossil-fuel-dominated (and expensively subsidised) market.
Includes a market overview and trade data. The Guinean government has announced a long-term energy strategy focusing on renewable sources of electricity including solar and hydroelectric as a way to promote environmentally friendly development, to reduce budget reliance on imported fuel, and to take advantage of Guinea's abundant water resources.
Three primary energy sources make up the energy mix in Guinea – biomass, oil and hydropower. With 78%, biomass (mostly charcoal) makes the largest contribution in primary energy consumption in Guinea. It is locally produced, while Guinea imports all petroleum products.
