What is the current energy production in Cameroon?

Scientific articles and investigative reports on energy production in Cameroon have enabled an assessment of the current electrical energy production. The 2035 production estimate is based on the Energy Sector Development Projects (PDSEN) report in Cameroon. The cur-rent production is estimated at around 1600 MW.

How much money does Cameroon need for energy projects?

The Cameroonian government states that Cameroon needs almost 2000 billion euros to finance its energy projects. These funds will support the construction of the Limbé gas power plant (350 MW), the Grand Eweng, Chol-let, Kikot, Katsina Ala (285 MW), and Menchum (72 MW) hydroelectric dams, among others.

Will Cameroon produce 5000 MW by 2035?

However, by 2020, pro-duction had only reached 1040 MW, leading Cameroon to devise a new na-tional energy sector development strategy targeting 5000 MW by 2035. This paper provides an overview of the current state of energy production and projects future output by 2035.

Will Cameroon have a solar power plant?

The Maroua and Guider power plants, Cameroon’s first public solar pro-ject with a combined capacity of 30 MW, were commissioned by MINEE in Sep-tember 2023. Additionally, a 20 MW solar power plant is planned for the city of Garoua.

Will Cameroon diversify its energy mix?

This project is expected to diversify Cameroon’s energy mix, currently dominated by hydroelectricity, which accounts for 61.7% of national production, compared to 1% for biomass and 0% for wind power .

What is Cameroon's energy policy?

A critical examination of the current state and evolution of various energy sources, demand and supply, and the country’s energy policy was conducted. Cameroon, aiming to become an emerging country by 2035, is heavily investing in hydroelectricity and developing other alternative electricity production sources to address the energy deficit.
