Guinea Bissau: Power Sector Policy Note E XECUTIVE SUMMARY The electricity sector in Guinea Bissau is in the midst of a transformational reform towards a sustainable development characterized by reliable, greener and affordable service delivery.
In Bissau and Gabu, solar photovoltaic (PV) plants will help reduce the average cost of electricity and diversify the energy mix. Battery storage will help integrate this variable energy source into the grid. In Bafata, Gabu, and Cacheu, the PV plants will provide cheaper and cleaner local power generation than current diesel production.
The power sector in Guinea Bissau is expected to undergo significant changes during the second half of 2022.
The Electricity Access Expansion Project (EAGB), under the supervision of the Ministry of Natural Resources and Energy, has had a historical dismal performance, which has constrained the provision of electricity and water services mainly to the capital, Bissau. The Bank’s investment in densifying the distribution grid around OMVG substation is expected to increase access to electricity to 39%.
Guinea Bissau receives a capacity of 27.5 MW and an energy share of 167 GWh per year from the Kaléta (240MW) and Soaupiti (480MW) hydropower plants. The Power Purchase Agreement was signed in December 2019.
By 2035, the average electricity generation cost in Guinea Bissau is estimated to be reduced to US$ 0.12/kWh. As part of the OMVG interconnection project, Guinea Bissau will benefit from the electricity production of hydroelectric projects under development in Guinea.

Energy use in Guinea-Bissau is roughly 0.3 toe per person per year, and is one of the world''s lowest. The biomass represents over 95% of the total energy consumed by households in Guinea Bissau. Wood is the dominant fuel with a demand that exceeds 500,000 tons per year, followed by charcoal being the most-used fuel in the capital. The quantity of the biomass used is around …
The World Bank is supporting the development of Guinea-Bissau''s first solar power plants, aiming to decarbonise electricity production and boost electrification. Under the Solar Energy and Access to Electricity Development Project, the World Bank will assist Guinea-Bissau until 2030 and has already approved a USD $30 million grant.
Near the capital Bissau, a 30 MWp solar power plant will be built with the aim of "reducing the average cost of electricity in the country and diversifying the energy mix, while battery storage will make it possible, in the first phase, to smooth the injection curve and, in the second phase, to provide services to the electricity system ...

A 30 MW solar power plant will be developed near the capital, Bissau, to reduce electricity costs and diversify the energy mix. Battery storage will initially help stabilize the power supply and later offer additional services to the electricity system, according to the Ministry of the Economy, Planning, and Regional Integration of Guinea-Bissau.
The expected results in the energy sector are: installing 500 solar street lamps, reducing energy loss, finalising the 225-kV western backbone interconnection line in the Gambia basin and developing renewable energy. …

The government signed a contract with Turkey''s Karpowership on 11 October to boost power supply to the capital, Bissau. The contract is for five years, with an option to renew, and is for 30MW, with 18MW to be supplied in a first phase. The O Democrata news site quoted an official of state utility Electricidade e Aguas da Guiné-Bissau (EAGB) as saying energy …
Energy intensity can therefore be a useful metric to monitor. Energy intensity measures the amount of energy consumed per unit of gross domestic product. It effectively measures how efficiently a country uses energy to produce a given amount of economic output. A lower energy intensity means it needs less energy per unit of GDP.
The 37MW Metin Bey powership has arrived in Guinea-Bissau, Turkey''s Karadeniz said on 19 February. Karadeniz''s subsidiary Karpowership signed an agreement with the government in October, finalising a power purchase agreement with state utility Empresa de Eletricidade e Aguas da Guiné-Bissau earlier this year.
