3 FAQs about [Cape verde photovoltaic energy storage field]
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.
Is Cape Verde a developing state?
The archipelago of Cape Verde is a developing state in West Africa with extreme external energy dependency on refined oil imports despite their available solar and wind resources. Aligned with the global energy transition, the local government established goals in 2011 aiming at 50 and 100% RES.
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.
