Cape Verde greenlights wind farm expansion, BESS
The Cape Verde government has signed a contract with the domestic partly state-owned wind power operator, Cabeolica, to support its wind farm expansion and battery installation projects in the archipelago nation off
Cape Verde''s goal is 100% renewable energy by 2025. Why it
One research team suggested that a system based on solar, wind and energy storage (as batteries and pumped hydropower) could meet Cape Verde''s goals. It certainly has a wide range of options
Cabo Verde
Making the transition to renewable energy has become an even more pressing priority given the recent increase in energy prices. To achieve its ambitious goal, the government anticipates that Cabo Verde will need more than 150MWp of new solar projects and more than 60MW of new wind farms.
The Current Situation of RE – Status and Challenges
RENEWABLE ENERGY HIGH PENETRATION Given the dependence on petroleum products, ELECTRA intends to: Increase substantially the penetration of renewable energy Reduce the diesel portion in the production mix Reduce the pollution emission gases
World Bank Supports Sustainable Energy Development in Cabo Verde
Despite remarkable progress in expanding energy access and reducing energy intensity in the past 10 years, the power sector in Cabo Verde faces challenges that could undermine its ability to serve as an engine of economic recovery post-COVID-19 pandemic.

CABO VERDE: Managing energy and water as an island state
As renewable energy contributes less than 20% to the country''s energy supply, this will help it achieve a 100% energy access rate by 2026. Cabo Verde is home to the Cabeólica Wind Park, which consists of four wind farms set across four different islands and prevent more than 47,000 tonnes of carbon emissions a year, with plans for expansion

Energy self-sufficiency has been defined as total primary energy production divided by total primary energy supply. Energy trade includes all
Towards 100% renewable islands in 2040 via generation
In the energy transition context, islands are identified as particularly challenging regions due to their isolation, and energy dependence; while their excellent renewable resource and rapid growth makes them exceptionally interesting test cases.
U.S. Government efforts support construction of Clean Energy Solar
The project, financed under the ECOWAS Renewable Energy Facility (EREF) with support from USAID and Power Africa, involved the design, supply, installation and commissioning of a 40 kilowatt (kW) solar photovoltaic mini grid plant with 150 kW battery storage and a 50-kW generator.
