International finance institution the World Bank will support the development of Guinea-Bissau''s first solar power plants with a $35 million grant through its Solar Energy Scale-up and Access project.. Approved by the bank''s Board of Executive Directors, the project entails the development of 30 MW of solar parks with battery energy storage systems as well as the
In Bissau, solar photovoltaic (PV) plants will help reduce the average cost of electricity in the country and diversify the energy mix, while 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. In the Bijagos islands (Bolama, Rubane
World Bank funds Guinea-Bissau''s first solar power plants for decarbonisation and expanded electricity access. The World Bank, IDA, ESMAP, and GCF committed $78.15 million to support solar energy development. The project includes multiple solar plants near Bissau and mini-grids on Bijagós islands and aims to benefit 1,200 households and SMEs.
The project is integrated with Targale Wind Park, a 58.8MW wind power plant that went into commercial operation in 2022. The battery storage system will be connected to the transmission grid this autumn and will enable surplus wind power generated at times of high production to be stored and outputted to the grid when demand peaks and renewable

The Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP) contributed $2.65 million, and the Green Climate Fund (GCF) supported it with $10.5 million. The Guinea-Bissau Solar Energy Scale-up and Access Project is designed to enhance solar energy infrastructure by creating utility-scale solar parks and upgrading current solar grid systems.
According to AFREC 2020 energy balance, the main primary energy sources that make up the energy mix in Guinea are biomass, and oil while electricity is mainly generated from hydro-electricity sources and fossil thermal sources. With 77% biomass (mostly charcoal) has the largest contribution in primary energy consumption in Guinea. More than 84% of households have
With only 31 percent of the population having electricity, energy access in Guinea-Bissau is among the lowest in the region and impedes the nation''''s development. With these policies, Guinea Bissau aims at a 50% renewable energy penetration in the grid peak demand in 2030. In the policy scenario, around 80% of the population will have access to

The expected results in the energy sector are: installing 500 solar street lamps, reducing energy loss, finalising the 225-kV western backbone interconnection line in the Gambia basin and developing renewable energy. This will enable Guinea-Bissau to increase the contribution of renewable energy to its total supply mix from 0 to 36%. The access

The first flywheel unit of the Dinglun Flywheel Energy Storage Power Station in Changzhi City, Shanxi Province, was connected by project owner Shenzen Energy Group recently.
The facility will have a battery storage system to provide electricity to the inhabitants of Bissau and surrounding areas after sunset. Sinohydro will also provide a 30kV line to transport the electricity to Br where it will be fed into the national grid via a substation.
