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.
The largest power station in Cape Verde is located in the City of Praia with an installed capacity of 31 MW.
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.
ELECTRA is a company owned by the Cape Verdean Government (85%) and Cape Verde Municipalities (15). The largest power station is located in the country’s capital (City of Praia) with an installed capacity of 31 MW, followed by the Electra Power Station in Mindelo (18.3 MW) and Sal (9 MW).
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.

PUMPED STORAGE HYDROELECTRIC SCHEMES AND WATER …
In water scarce areas, pumped storage schemes are used as an alternative to conventional hydroelectric power stations to provide the power needed during peak periods. Instead of the water being discharged, it is retained in the system and re-used. A pumped storage scheme consists of lower and upper reservoirs with a power station/pumping plant ...
