The national electricity access rate in Cameroon is 70% (IEA, 2020b) and has grown considerably compared to the previous years due to a series of projects such as the newly constructed Memve'ele hydroelectric station, the recuperation of the Limbe power plant, and the implementation of some solar photovoltaic (PV) projects.
Mas'ud et al. assessed the solar energy readiness in Cameroon by highlighting the irradiation pattern across the country. Abanda underscored that the mean solar irradiance is roughly 5.8 kWh/m 2 /day in the northern regions, while it's in the range of 4.0–4.9 kWh/m 2 /day in the southern regions of the Country.
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.
Hence, there is an urgent need for reliable and sufficient power supply because the distressing rationing system, the reduced industrial activity, the loss of jobs, and disturbances in public life are revelations of what presently seems to be a recurrent hindrance to Cameroon's development program.
Another policy consideration in Cameroon that could encourage the deployment of renewables is the green credit policy, a financial instrument where banks are instructed to grant loans only to companies with strict environmental compliance.
Three scenarios are developed, and the allocation of power generators to meet the electricity demand at a particular time is based on the 25% renewable energy target in the Cameroon NDCs by 2035, the GDP, the load duration curve, and the mean plant capacity factor which are entirely stated exogenously.
