3 FAQs about [Comoros energy storage solar photovoltaic]
What is Comoros solar energy integration platform (comorsol)?
The proposed Comoros Solar Energy Integration Platform (ComorSol) project will address the sector challenges and enable the Union of the Comoros to harness its renewables potential by creating the technical and institutional infrastructure necessary to integrate solar energy into the grid. 19.
How much power does the Comoros use?
First, reliance on imported fossil fuels for power production. In 2018, electricity generation in the Comoros consisted of small-scale diesel generators adding up to a total installed capacity of 31.5 MW: 19.4 megawatt (MW) in Grande Comore, 7.4 MW in Anjouan, and 4.70 MW in Mohéli.
Is comorsol economically viable?
69. The project is economically viable. With the development of 9 MW of solar capacity (aligned with potential solar sites identified in prefeasibility studies), the economic internal rate of return (EIRR) for ComorSol reaches 13.9 percent including benefits from greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction and 10.7 percent without benefits from GHG reduction.
