When will Cape Verde's energy storage centre be operational?
During the presentation of the project, Cape Verde's National Director for Industry, Trade and Energy, Rito Évora, announced that the energy storage centre is scheduled to be operational by 2030, with the aim of injecting 7% of renewable energy into the national public grid and 18% into that of the island of Santiago.
Why is the Cape Verde energy project important?
The project was a huge success and to this day remains one of the most important and influential strategic studies in the energy sector of Cape Verde.
What are the energy resources of Cape Verde?
Cape Verde has no primary energy resources except for wood, which is insufficient due to low rainfalls and poor soil quality. The country’s energy supplies come from four main sources: petroleum products, butane gas, firewood, and wind.
How much does the Santiago pumped storage project cost?
The Santiago Pumped Storage Project, which will be located in Chã Gonçalves, in the municipality of Ribeira Grande de Santiago and will cost around 60 million euros, promises to significantly increase energy storage capacity, thus making it possible to increase the country's electricity production capacity.
What is the energy sector in Cabo Verde?
Direcção Geral da Energia de Cabo Verde 2010 2011 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.
Where is a desalination plant located in Cape Verde?
In Porto Novo, in the Santo Antão island, was implemented a desalination plant in 2021, with the support of Águas de Porto Novo, in a public-private partnership between the Government of Cape Verde, the Municipality of Porto Novo and Águas de Ponta Preta.
