According to a report by the Portuguese Lusa News Agency, on May 16, the transitional government of Guinea-Bissau and a U.S. renewable energy company held a groundbreaking ceremony for a 10 MW photovoltaic power plant project in the suburbs of Bissau. The project has a construction period of 6 months and will provide electricity to 40,000 people in Biombo and Bissau.
According to Minister of Natural Resources and Energy Gomes, Guinea-Bissau will be the first country in the region to possess a photovoltaic power plant. This project will contribute to the development of the national economy, particularly in the rural areas of western Bissau.
The total cost of the project is 30 million U.S. dollars (approximately 23 million euros). It is being constructed by the U.S. energy company Suntrough, which has extensive experience in the solar energy sector and is headquartered in California.
Guinea-Bissau has long suffered from power shortages, and the country relies primarily on diesel power generation.
