The electricity sector in Guinea Bissau is in the midst of a transformational reform towards a sustainable development characterized by reliable, greener and affordable service delivery.
8. Around US$ 263 million of public and private funding will be needed to achieve universal electricity access in Guinea Bissau by 2030. To achieve this goal, a combination of grid (70%) and off-grid (30%) solutions will be required to bring 400,000 additional new connections18.
Guinea-Bissau has one of the lowest electrification rates in Sub-Saharan Africa with only 29 percent2 of the population -around 53 percent in urban areas- having access to electricity (Figure 1).
In Bissau, solar photovoltaic (PV) plants will help reduce the average cost of electricity in the country and diversify the energy mix, while battery storage will help integrate this variable energy source into the grid. In Bafata, Gabu and Cacheu, the PV plants will provide cheaper and cleaner local power generation than current diesel production.
