During the presentation of the project, Cape Verde's National Director for Industry, Trade and Energy, Rito Évora, announced that the energy storage centre is scheduled to be operational by 2030, with the aim of injecting 7% of renewable energy into the national public grid and 18% into that of the island of Santiago.
Cape Verde energy sector is strongly characterized by consumption of fossil fuels (derived oil-primary imported oil), biomass (wood) and use of renewable energy particularly wind and solar power.
The Santiago Pumped Storage Project, which will be located in Chã Gonçalves, in the municipality of Ribeira Grande de Santiago and will cost around 60 million euros, promises to significantly increase energy storage capacity, thus making it possible to increase the country's electricity production capacity.
The main objectives of the “Hydro pumped-storage projects in Santiago island” project were the identification of hydro pumped-storage projects and the performance of feasibility studies for potential sites.
