World Bank Approves $35M to Support Solar Power in
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.
ENERGY PROFILE Guinea-Bissau
Onshore wind: Potential wind power density (W/m2) is shown in the seven classes used by NREL, measured at a height of 100m. The bar chart shows the distribution of the country''s land area in each of these classes compared to the global distribution of wind resources. Areas in the third class or above are considered to be a good wind resource.
Exploring the Potential of Guinea-Bissau''s Wind Energy Resources
Harnessing Guinea-Bissau''s wind energy resources could have significant socio-economic benefits for the country. First and foremost, it would help to address the chronic electricity shortages that plague the country, particularly in rural areas where access to the national grid is limited.

(PDF) An Overview on Renewable Energy Technologies for Developing
The analysis is focused on low-cost and effective maximum power point tracking (MPPT) of the wind power system while satisfying the load requirements and ensuring battery protection.
Guinea Bissau Policy Note
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.

6 FAQs about [Guinea-Bissau wind turbine storage batteries]
What is wind energy used for in Guinea Bissau?
Wind energy is extracted from wind speeds by wind turbines. It was first used to produce mechanical power (windmills). Nowadays, it is mainly used for the production of electrical power . Unfortunately, none were counted in Guinea Bissau.
What is the main source of biomass energy in Guinea Bissau?
The most ancient and still the most used today in African countries, is the wood coal and patches for cooking. In Guinea Bissau, it is the main source of biomass energy but not the only one. GB has recently started trying knew application of biomass energy.
What techniques are used to produce electricity in Guinea Bissau?
The main techniques used for the production of electricity are dams but there are also other techniques such us: Run-of-the-river hydroelectric, pumped-storage hydroelectricity, Tidal power and wave power1. Guinea Bissau has an important site for the construction of a dam with a good potential for power generation.
Is Guinea Bissau a good place to build a dam?
Guinea Bissau has an important site for the construction of a dam with a good potential for power generation. The site is located in Saltinho and in 1983 a study done by “Consultores para Obras, Barragens e Planeamento, SA (COBA)” and financed by UNDP estimated that the dam could generate 18MW of electricity .
What are the renewable resources in Guinea-Bissau?
Despite favourable conditions little renewable resources are being harvested in Guinea-Bissau (Boccaletti, Fri, Marco Garcia, & Santini, 2008). 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).
How will the ECOWAS regional Access Project Impact Guinea-Bissau?
The ECOWAS regional access project will extend and strengthen the distribution network in Guinea-Bissau, supplying electricity to an additional 198,000 people (33,000 households) by 2022. A low-hanging fruit opportunity exists to bring electricity to an additional 31,443 households.
