10 June 2024, Cameroon/Norway: Release by Scatec has entered into two new lease agreements with the national electricity company ENEO in Cameroon, expanding its existing solar and battery storage power plants in the country to 64.4 MW of solar and 38.2 MWh of batteries.
When the extensions of the projects are completed, Release’s projects in totality will supply energy to about 200,000 households in Cameroon, according to ENEO estimates, generating an annual production of about 141.5 GWh of electricity.
The pivotal role of Cameroon in achieving Central Africa Power Pool's objective is highlighted. Many large hydropower and storage plants in Cameroon might feed the Inga-Calabar power highway. Small-hydropower and pumped-storage are showing good prospects for electrifying many remote areas in Cameroon.
Cameroon in CAPP has the particularity of having an abundance of hydro and solar power on its territory. This positions the country as a potential leader in floating solar, which is an innovative scheme with many advantages [ 98 ].
Overall, a total of 21 sites have been deemed acceptable and the 11 most relevant sites based on the available head (especially those with a head of more than 200 m) are mapped in Fig. 12. The overall pumped-storage potential of Cameroon could therefore be estimated at 34 GWh and depicted as in Fig. 13. Fig. 12.
In the specific case of Cameroon, a more in-depth knowledge of the country's hydropower potential could have influenced power infrastructure development policy and led to improved energy access rate.
