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.
Large hydropower with an estimated potential of 23 GW makes Cameroon a key player in the energy integration of the sub-region, with in perspective the export of electricity to hydro-poor neighbours such as Chad, Central African Republic and Congo.
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.
Cameroon's energy consumption shows that biomass, electricity and petroleum are three main sources of energy. Biomass consumption accounts for 74.22%, followed by petroleum (18.48%) and electricity (7.30%), as illustrated by Figure 2.
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.
Electricity in Cameroon is mainly consumed by the industrial and residential sectors in urban areas, where the electrification rate is almost 90 %, compared to 20 % in rural areas and a national average of 68 % [ 43 ].
