Guinea
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, reduce budget reliance on imported fuel, and to take advantage of Guinea''s abundant water resources.
Power Purchase Agreement signed for pioneering solar
The 40MWac Khoumagueli Solar project will be Guinea''s first grid-connected solar photovoltaic plant and is designed to complement power generation at the nearby 75 MW Garafiri hydroelectric plant. The facilities will combine to maximise delivery of renewable energy to
Khoumagueli Solar – InfraCo Africa
The Khoumagueli plant will be the first grid-connected solar power plant in Guinea and will deliver 40MW of clean power to Guinea''s national grid. Using existing grid infrastructure, Khoumagueli will also be well-positioned to enable a planned West African Power Pool project linking Guinea with its neighbours.
PPA advances Guinea''s first grid-connected solar project
The Khoumagueli Solar project will be Guinea''s first grid-connected solar photovoltaic plant. The project is designed to complement power generation at the nearby 75MW Garafiri hydroelectric plant. The facilities will combine to maximize delivery of renewable energy to the national grid, with Khoumagueli Solar expected to mitigate against the
Harnessing the Potential of Guinea Conakry''s Renewable Energy Sector
Developed by InfraCo Africa, a member of the Private Infrastructure Development Group, and Solveo Energie, a French renewable energy producer and subsidiary of Solveo International Investments, the Khoumagueli project will comprise Guinea''s first grid-connected solar photovoltaic plant, supplying 40MW of clean energy to the country''s
Guinea signs contract for first grid-connected solar project
UK-based InfraCo Africa and France-based Solvéo Energie have signed a 25-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with Guinea''s national power utility, Electricité de Guinée (EDG), ahead of the country''s first on-grid photovoltaic (PV) plant being built.
82 MW solar project for Guinea
The German company is currently working on an 82 MW solar project in Guinea, one of the largest independent solar power production projects in the West African region. The project, spread over two sites, will bring clean and cost-effective energy to the port city of Kamsar via a mini-grid with 12 km of grid extension and to the city of Boké
Guinea''s Solar Promise
But as a result of its government''s openness and willingness to reform, Guinea has secured its first bankable solar-power investment. This is a major energy milestone that is likely to lead to the construction of the country''s first solar-power plant. This achievement offers important lessons for energy sectors across West Africa.
