4 FAQs about [Cabo Verde decentralized power grid]

Does Cabo Verde have electricity?

Access to electricity in Cabo Verde reached 93% in 2018 from 87.1% in 2012 though in rural areas access remains below the national average (83.1%). Renewable energy accounts for 20.3% of total supply and an electricity sector Master Plan (2018-2040) was designed to help achieve 50% of renewable energy generation by 2030.

What is the energy sector in Cape Verde?

Cape Verde energy sector is strongly characterized by consumption of fossil fuels (derived oil-primary imported oil), biomass (wood) and use of renewable energy particularly wind and solar power.

Does Cape Verde have solar power?

In 2012 Cape Verde had an installed electricity generation capacity of around 300 MW, of which about 24% from wind power plants and 3% from photovoltaic stations. While solar power has an enormous potential as a source of renewable energy, natural conditions in Cape Verde are one of the best in the world for the production on wind energy.

Is Cape Verde a viable alternative to fossil fuels?

Solid waste can also represent an adequate option while ocean and geothermic energy are being tested, with uncertainties remaining as to their efficiency. Cape Verde has an estimated potential of 2,600 MW of renew-able energy, and more than 650 MW have been studied in concrete projects, which have lower production costs than fossil fuels.
