Electrical power in the country is provided by theEmpresa de Agua e Electricidade (EMAE), a public-private company that is 51% owned by the Government of Sao Tome and Principe, and the remaining 41% is jointly owned by the private sector, with Sonangol holding 40% and a local anonymous enterprise owning the remaining 9%.
Sao Tome and Principe has not yet developed a National Energy Policy. However, with every change in Government, the incoming Government formulates its development plan with the last one prepared in October 2013 and entitled “Grandes Opções do Plano para 2014” (Major Options of the Plan for 2014).
2. Solar PV:As per the publication “Emission Reduction Profile: Sao Tome and Principe”, June 2013” prepared by RISO with the support of ACP-MEA & UNFCCC, there are, to date, “no official studies on the exact solar power potential: therefore, further calculations of the emissions reduction potential can be hazardous”.
EMAE's total installed generation capacity (Table 2) on the islands of Sao Tome and Principe is22.5 MW, consisting of 20.6 MW from diesel plants and 1.92 MW from hydro plants.
French energy giant TotalEnergies has started construction on a solar-plus-storage project in South Africa, with a power generation capacity of 216MW and a battery output of 75MW/500MWh.
