5 FAQs about [Types of pv modules Guinea-Bissau]

Who is backing Guinea-Bissau's solar project?

The West African Development Bank is backing the project with a $42.9 million loan. Guinea-Bissau relies on fossil fuels and solar has seen limited development, with the exception of rural electrification initiatives. The nation has one of the lowest electrification rates in Africa, as well as electricity prices among the highest on the continent.

What are the solar resources of Guinea-Bissau?

Domestically, Guinea-Bissau has vast solar resources with 3000 h of sun per year with an average solar radiation of 4.5e5.5 kWh/m 2 /day (Boccaletti et al., 2008;REEEP, 2012). Despite favourable conditions little renewable resources are being harvested in Guinea-Bissau (Boccaletti, Fabbri, Marco Garcia, & Santini, 2008).

How much solar energy does Guinea-Bissau have?

Domestically, Guinea-Bissau has vast solar resources with 3000 h of sun per year with an average solar radiation of 4.5e5.5 kWh/m 2 /day (Boccaletti et al., 2008; REEEP, 2012). The electricity system has 72 MW of committed capacity that will be installed by 2019, running on heavy fuel oil (HFO) (World Bank, 2018a).

Who will build Guinea-Bissau's first PV plant?

The African Biofuel and Renewable Energy Co (Abrec), which promotes renewables and energy efficiency across the continent, has awarded the contract to build Guinea-Bissau’s first large scale PV plant to state-owned Chinese hydropower business Sinohydro.

Can a 20 MW solar power plant be built in Bissau?

A solar power plant with a capacity of between 20 and 30 MW is currently being planned with the support of the World Bank, which is now seeking consultants to carry out a feasibility study for the project. The financing will facilitate the construction of a 20 MW solar plant in the city of Bissau and two 1 MW PV facilities in Gabu and Canchungo.
