The project will build solar plants near Bissau and install mini-grids on the Bijagós islands, thereby providing electricity to 1,200 households and SMEs. The World Bank has announced substantial financial support for Guinea-Bissau’s innovative solar power project aimed at reducing carbon emissions and increasing electricity access.
The World Bank, IDA, ESMAP, and GCF are funding Guinea-Bissau’s first solar power plants with a $78.15 million investment to support decarbonization and expand electricity access. The project will build solar plants near Bissau and install mini-grids on the Bijagós islands, thereby providing electricity to 1,200 households and SMEs.
Currently, only 33% of Guinea-Bissau’s population has access to electricity, with the capital city of Bissau facing particularly high costs. The Solar Energy Scale-up and Access Project is expected to benefit residential, commercial, and industrial consumers nationwide — including those on the islands.
