ENERGY PROFILE Benin

Onshore wind: Potential wind power density (W/m2) is shown in the seven classes used by NREL, measured at a height of 100m. The bar chart shows the distribution of the country''s land area in each of these classes compared to the global distribution of wind resources. Areas in the third class or above are considered to be a good wind resource.

A critical analysis of the energy situation in the Benin Republic

Wind potential in Benin has been measured by the Air Navigation Safety Agency (ASECNA), and indicates that only the coastal regions have significant potential and wind speeds at constant levels throughout the year. Speeds vary from 4 to 6 m/s, and from 1 to 2 m/s along the coast, and in the north of the country, respectively [50].
