3 FAQs about Guinea Outdoor Power Local

Does Guinea have a hydropower plant?

Guinea's hydropower plants (Kaleta and Souapiti) now supply clean energy domestically and export 1,174 GWh annually to Senegal, The Gambia, and Guinea-Bissau, supporting regional energy transition and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.

What is the potential for hydroelectric power generation in Guinea?

The potential for hydroelectric power generation is high, but largely untapped. Electricity is not available to a high percentage of Guineans, especially in rural areas, and service is intermittent, even in the capital city of Conakry. The estimated 2012 national consumption was 903 million kWh.

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.
