6 FAQs about [Cameroon commercial solar applications]

Are solar power plants a reality in Cameroon?

The facilities, which have been in service for several months, serve the northern part of Cameroon. Large-scale solar energy production is now a reality in Cameroon. On Friday 22 September 2023, Cameroon’s Minister of Water and Energy Gaston Eloundou Essomba inaugurated two photovoltaic solar power plants in the Far North and North regions.

What is Cameroon 2020 photovoltaic power project?

The country is looking forward to implementing a solar PV electrification of some cities under a program named, (Cameroon 2020 Photovoltaic Power Project) PV solar program − Cameroon 2020. Cameroon 2020 Photovoltaic Power Project targets grid-unconnected rural villages as well as grid-connected urban underserved populations.

How much does solar energy cost in Cameroon?

The solar PV project’s cost of energy (COE) was $75.43/MWh or $0.075/kWh which is equivalent to 48.75 FCFA/kWh. This is cheaper than the electricity price of 84 FCFA/kWh for commercial users (Electricity Sector Regulatory Agency (AESEL), Citation 2012) in Cameroon.

Does Cameroon have a solar energy readiness?

Mas'ud et al. assessed the solar energy readiness in Cameroon by highlighting the irradiation pattern across the country. Abanda underscored that the mean solar irradiance is roughly 5.8 kWh/m 2 /day in the northern regions, while it's in the range of 4.0–4.9 kWh/m 2 /day in the southern regions of the Country.

Where are solar PV sites located in Cameroon?

Solar PV sites with projected capacity. Cameroon is located in a low wind speed region as outlined by kenfack et al. and as a result the country is confronted with several challenges in developing wind energy. Nonetheless, the greatest winds are found in the Far North region, around the Logone & Chari division and Lake Chad.

How much solar power will be injected into the SIG of Cameroon?

3.1. Electricity generation The model was based on the feasibility section of the RETScreen Expert tool and the proposed solar PV capacity was estimated at 211.75 MW which is the power that will be injected into the Southern Interconnected Grid (SIG) of Cameroon.
