6 FAQs about [Guinea solar grid integration]

What is the first grid-connected solar PV array in Guinea?

How much solar power does Guinea have?

Guinea had an installed PV capacity of just 13 MW at the end of 2020. Infraco Africa, a unit of U.K.-based Private Infrastructure Development Group (PIDG), and Solveo Energie, a unit of French renewable energy developer Solveo, have secured a 25-year power purchase agreement (PPA) for a large-scale solar project under development in Guinea.

What is the 88 MW solar project in Guinea?

The project is likely the first phase of an 88 MW PV project announced by the French government in April 2017. The French authorities said at the time that the project was expected to be built in two 44 MW phases and to be developed by Solveo Energy. Guinea has had very limited development of solar energy to date.

How does solar power work in Guinea?

It combines photovoltaic solar energy with hydroelectricity produced in Guinea, reduces the need for thermal energy and reduces the cost of electricity,” said Jean-Marc Mateos, President of the Solveo Group. Guinea’s has a national electrification rate of 35.4%.

Does Guinea have an electrification rate?

Guinea’s has a national electrification rate of 35.4%. The West African country is looking to increase its electrification rate to meet its developmental goals, as well as diversify its energy mix. Guinea’s existing electricity supply is largely derived from hydro power which can be susceptible to seasonal fluctuations in rainfall.

What is EPC & how does it work in Guinea?

It combines photovoltaic solar energy with hydroelectricity produced in Guinea, reduces the need for thermal energy and reduces the cost of electricity,” said Jean-Marc Mateos, president of the Solveo Group. EPC procurement is at a mature stage, and initial discussions with lenders have begun.
