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.
In the case of Cape Verde, there is one study evaluating the wave energy potential which highlights the resource available, particularly for the northern islands, such as São Vicente . Unfortunately, the study identifies the wave resource to match that of the wind.
The archipelago of Cape Verde is a developing state in West Africa with extreme external energy dependency on refined oil imports despite their available solar and wind resources. Aligned with the global energy transition, the local government established goals in 2011 aiming at 50 and 100% RES.
Cape Verde can meet its goal of 50% renewables today by integrating energy storage. A 100% Renewable System is achieved from 2026, with a 20 year cost from 68 to 107 M€. Current paradigm doubles emissions in 20 years and costs ranges from 71 to 107 M€. The optimal configuration achieves 90% renewable shares with a cost from 50 to 75 M€.
Nevertheless, we discarded this due to the fact that the grid in Cape Verde is currently in expansion and this process is expected to continue during the foreseeable future following criterias related to energy access and political will, rather than techno-economical feasibility. Thus, falling out of scope.
The archipelago of Cape Verde Located in the Atlantic Ocean at approximately 600 km from the westernmost point of continental Africa, Cape Verde is compounded by ten islands; nine of them inhabited by roughly 540,000 people. Their climate is usually regarded as semi-desert, more moderate than that of sub-Saharan Africa due to the oceanic influence.
