How can Guinea achieve universal energy access?

National Determined Contribution (2015) for carbon abatement, issued for COP21 in Paris. Energy Access: There is not a precise objective to reach universal access, but in 2017 Guinea raised funds with development partners to double its electrification rate in 5 years (from 18% to 36%).

What is the energy potential of Guinea?

Guinea, which is known as “the water tower of Africa” has an energy potential estimated at more than 6,000 MW, most of it in Konkouré basin (World Bank, 2018 ), of which just about 15% is currently exploited.
