Cape Verde greenlights wind farm expansion, BESS projects

Cabeolica will use the funds to add more turbines to its Santiago wind farm in the namesake island to raise its capacity to 22 MW from 9 MW. The company will also add a battery energy storage system (BESS) with a capacity of 9 MW/5 MWh in Santiago and another unit of 6 MW/6MWh on the island of Sal.

Lusa

Praia, Sept. 6, 2024 (Lusa) — Cabo Verde''s first pumped storage hydroelectric power station will start operating by 2028. Its power output is equivalent to more than a quarter of the largest (fuel-fired) power station on the island of Santiago.

EIB and EU funding package to modernise Cabo Verde''s energy

The government of the Republic of Cabo Verde, the European Union and the EIB have signed financing of €300 million ($330.6 million) for the country''s energy, digital and port sectors; more than half will go to building a grid, generation and energy storage system up to

Santiago Pumped Storage will increase Cape Verde''s energy storage

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.

Appraisal Environmental and Social Review Summary

Finally, pilot battery energy storage systems will be implemented to integrate variable renewable energy injected by the project into the grid. Sub-component 1.b: Resilient and Efficient Electricity Services to Public Facilities

Cape Verde Renewable Energy Atlas

The Renewable Energy Atlas includes the strategic identification of resource potential, location and analysis of the solar, wind, pumped-storage, geothermal and wave resources, and resulted in the identification of 2.600 MW of Renewable Energy potential in Cape Verde, from which Gesto studied more than 650 MW in feasible projects that would

Towards 100% renewable islands in 2040 via generation expansion

Cape Verde can meet its goal of 50% renewables today by integrating energy storage. A 100% Renewable System is achieved from 2026, with a 20 year cost from 68 to 107 M€. Current paradigm doubles emissions in 20 years and costs ranges from 71 to 107 M€.

5 FAQs about [Cabo Verde thule energy storage]

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.

What is the energy sector in Cape Verde?

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.

Does Cape Verde have a wave energy potential?

In the case of Cape Verde, there is one study evaluating the wave energy potential which highlights the resource available, particularly for the northern islands, such as São Vicente . Unfortunately, the study identifies the wave resource to match that of the wind.

What is the Cape Verde reference system (CVRs)?

The recently published Cape Verde Reference System (CVRS) has been used as the baseline for the present study . It details the topology and components of the networks of both Santiago and São Vicente islands, including load and renewable profiles. 2.1. Energy mix, challenges, and future plans

Why is Cape Verde's energy grid falling out of scope?

Nevertheless, we discarded this due to the fact that the grid in Cape Verde is currently in expansion and this process is expected to continue during the foreseeable future following criterias related to energy access and political will, rather than techno-economical feasibility. Thus, falling out of scope.
