Will EAGB increase access to electricity in Bissau?
The Electricity Access Expansion Project (EAGB), under the supervision of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Energy, has had a historical dismal performance, which has constrained the provision of electricity and water services mainly to the capital, Bissau. The Bank’s investment in densifying the distribution grid around OMVG substation is expected to increase access to electricity to 39%.
How many PPAS has EAGB signed with IPPs in Guinea Bissau?
In Guinea Bissau, the power purchaser EAGB has signed two PPAs so far: the first with the Karpowership company for a 30 MW HFO power barge, and the second with Electricité de Guinée (EDG), the national public electric utility of Guinea, for importing power through the OMVG transmission line by 2022.
Why is Bissau not able to support modern economic activity?
Modern economic activity in Bissau cannot be supported due to the absence of the transmission infrastructure in the distribution grid concentrated in Bissau. The distribution network is composed of 344 km of 0.4 kV low voltage lines, 46 km of 6 kV lines (currently being replaced by 10 kV lines), and 68 km of 10 kV lines.
What is a performance contract between EAGB and Guinea Bissau?
The performance contract between EAGB and the Government of Guinea Bissau clarifies the responsibilities of both parties to improve the quality of EAGB’s services in order to fulfill the expectations of the population.
