This platform is designed to provide information and updates about São Tomé and Príncipe''s upcoming solar procurement initiatives. As the country transitions toward renewable energy, we aim to create transparent and competitive processes to attract qualified international investors, ensuring long-term energy sustainability.
Solar PV: Solar resource potential has been divided into seven classes, each representing a range of annual PV output per unit of capacity (kWh/kWp/yr). The bar chart shows the proportion of a country''s land area in each of these classes and the global distribution of land area across the classes (for comparison).

A project to deploy a 1.5-MW commercial-scale ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) platform in the African island nation of São Tomé and Príncipe by 2025 has gained a key design
Portuguese cleantech company Cleanwatts has signed an agreement with São Tomé and Príncipe in Africa for the production and sale of clean energy. The company will collaborate with the public utility Power and Water Company (EMAE) to install solar power plants across the country.
According to data from the International Renewably Energy Agency (IRENA), Sao Tome and Principe did not have any grid-connected solar generation capacity installed at the end of 2021. The World Bank says Sao Tome and Principe has an electricity access rate of around 76%, with 92% of the total coming from imported diesel.
Cleanwatts told pv magazine that it started developing 1.1 MW at Sao Tome airport and 300 kWp at Principe airport in August. It expects to complete the arrays by the end of this year. Another 300 kWp will be installed next year at other communities in Sao Tome.
The company will collaborate with the public utility Power and Water Company (EMAE) to install solar power plants across the country. The first phase of the program will include the installation of solar PV plants at the São Tomé international airport, as well as on the island of Príncipe, with capacities of 1.1 kW and 300 kW, respectively.
The troubles afflicting utility EMAE are dragging down the economy of the island nation. The United Nations Development Program is seeking consultants to conduct feasibility studies for a 2 MW solar project and three mini hydropower plants ranging in size from 1.15-2 MW in São Tomé and Principe.
