6 FAQs about [Solar roof cost in Guinea-Bissau]

How will solar power work in Bissau & Gabu?

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.

How sustainable is the electricity sector in Guinea Bissau?

The electricity sector in Guinea Bissau is in the midst of a transformational reform towards a sustainable development characterized by reliable, greener and affordable service delivery.

Can solar power be developed in Bissau & Bijagos?

An additional 30 MW of solar PV in Bissau, 36 MW in countryside cities and two solar PV mini-grids in the Bijagos islands could be developed according to a feasibility study completed in April 2020 with the support of the World Bank and ESMAP.

How much money is needed to achieve universal electricity access in Guinea Bissau?
