Smart renewable electricity portfolios in West Africa
A smart management of hydropower, combined with solar and wind energy, can provide the flexibility needed to power West Africa and at cheaper cost than using natural gas, according to a
A smart management of hydropower, combined with solar and wind energy, can provide the flexibility needed to power West Africa and at cheaper cost than using natural gas, according to a simulation model.
This photovoltaic power plant project, which aims to address the energy emergency in Africa with sustainable solutions adapted to local needs, is expected to be commissioned in 2026, he announced. significant impact on the energy transition in Africa,” he added.
The database of the present and future hydro, solar and wind power projects in West Africa developed for this work is named the West African Renewable Power Database (WARPD). It combines information from existing databases, scientific papers, technical project descriptions, newspaper articles and tender documents for future projects.
For instance, the solar/wind contribution of 28 TWh yr –1 to total RE generation under the middle bound of the power pool scenario can directly avoid 28 TWh yr –1 of electricity from natural gas, roughly Ghana's expected on-grid power demand by 2030 (ref. 30 ).
