World Bank and partners fund solar projects in
Electricity-starved Guinea Bissau will get $48m from the International Development Association, Green Climate Fund and Esmap
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 Solar Energy Development and Electricity Access Project will see the construction of several solar power plants and battery storage units with private sector involvement. A 30 MW solar power plant will be developed near the capital, Bissau, to reduce electricity costs and diversify the energy mix.
The Solar Energy Scale-up and Access Project is expected to benefit residential, commercial, and industrial consumers nationwide — including those on the islands. It aligns with the government's strategy to encourage private sector participation, stimulate economic growth, and create sustainable job opportunities.
