The project consists in the design and construction of a set of inter-related electricity generation, network and storage components during the 2023-2029 period under Cape Verde's National Electricity Masterplan (2018-2040).
Cape Verde has achieved a national coverage of 95 % in accessing electricity as each island has its own local power station running on petroleum products and its own electrical grid.
Furthermore, the Project is expected to have a critical indirect effect on the water sector in Cape Verde as most of the country's water supply comes from water desalination, which requires significant energy resources.
As part of the EU's Global Gateway strategy, EIB Global is supporting this project, which is expected to contribute to the complete phasing out of Cape Verde's reliance on expensive and polluting fossil fuels as its primary source of energy by 2040 at the latest.
For new energy storage stations with an installed capacity of 1 MW and above, a subsidy of no more than 0.3 yuan/kWh will be given to investors based on the amount of discharge electricity
