Overall, a total of 21 sites have been deemed acceptable and the 11 most relevant sites based on the available head (especially those with a head of more than 200 m) are mapped in Fig. 12. The overall pumped-storage potential of Cameroon could therefore be estimated at 34 GWh and depicted as in Fig. 13. Fig. 12.
10 June 2024, Cameroon/Norway: Release by Scatec has entered into two new lease agreements with the national electricity company ENEO in Cameroon, expanding its existing solar and battery storage power plants in the country to 64.4 MW of solar and 38.2 MWh of batteries.
When the extensions of the projects are completed, Release’s projects in totality will supply energy to about 200,000 households in Cameroon, according to ENEO estimates, generating an annual production of about 141.5 GWh of electricity.
The total installed capacity of the plant is 384 MW. Song-Loulou and Edea are connected to the Southern Interconnected Grid of Cameroon. The Memve'ele power plant was constructed on the Ntem River in the southern region of Cameroon.
This study highlighted through Fig. 9 a relative slowness in the development of hydroelectric production in Cameroon since 1945. Even with the commissioning of the 420 MW Nachtigal power plant currently under construction, the level of installed capacity in Cameroon will hardly reach 5 %.
In the specific case of Cameroon, a more in-depth knowledge of the country's hydropower potential could have influenced power infrastructure development policy and led to improved energy access rate.
