What is Guinea's energy strategy?

Includes a market overview and trade data. The Guinean government has announced a long-term energy strategy focusing on renewable sources of electricity including solar and hydroelectric as a way to promote environmentally friendly development, to reduce budget reliance on imported fuel, and to take advantage of Guinea’s abundant water resources.

Can China make guinea an energy exporter in West Africa?

The Chinese mining firm TBEA is providing financing for the Amaria power plant (300 MW, USD 1.2 billion investment). If corresponding distribution infrastructure is built, and pricing enables it, these projects could make Guinea an energy exporter in West Africa.

What is the biggest energy investment in Guinea?

The largest energy sector investment in Guinea is the 450MW Souapiti dam project (valued at USD 2.1 billion), begun in late 2015 with Chinese investment. A Chinese firm likewise completed the 240MW Kaleta Dam (valued at USD 526 million) in May 2015.

Is Guinea a potential exporter of power?

Guinea’s hydropower potential is estimated at over 6,000MW, making it a potential exporter of power to neighboring countries. The largest energy sector investment in Guinea is the 450MW Souapiti dam project (valued at USD 2.1 billion), begun in late 2015 with Chinese investment.

What will Guinea's energy mix look like by 2025?

Guinea’s energy mix by 2025 will be dominated by hydropower, which would account for over 80 percent of the total installed capacity, should these planned investments be realized. Solar power is also growing in popularity for both corporate and residential use.

How has Kaleta changed Guinea's electricity supply?

Kaleta more than doubled Guinea’s electricity supply, and for the first-time furnished Conakry with more reliable, albeit seasonal, electricity (May-November). Souapiti began producing electricity in 2021. A third hydroelectric dam on the same river, dubbed Amaria, began construction in January 2019 and is expected to be operational in 2024.
