6 FAQs about Praia Solar Power Generation Electricity System

Why is solar power a problem on Santiago Island?

This problem becomes especially marked when demand is small and the power supply ratio from renewable energy is high. On Santiago Island, the equipment rated capacity of renewable energy comprises 9.35 MW of wind power and 4.28 MW of solar power, meaning that solar power accounts for 31% of all renewable energy capacity.

Are there solar power plants in Cabo Verde?

Concerning solar power generation equipment in Cabo Verde, two mega solar power plants were constructed and went into operation in 2010 on Santiago Island and Sal Island respectively utilizing funds from the Government of Portugal. These plants have rated output of 4.28MW and 2.14MW respectively, making them smaller than wind power plants.

Who makes mega solar power plants in Cabo Verde?

Based on the above contents, Table 8.1-1 and Table 8.1-2 show lists of the equipment at the two mega solar power plants in Cabo Verde. The manufacturer in both cases is Marifer Solar Co. of Portugal. First, description is given of the solar power generation equipment in Santiago (hereafter referred to as Santiago mega solar).

Should Cabo Verde use wind power instead of photovoltaics?

JICA Study Team recommends, instead of photovoltaics that will be relatively expensive, wind power as a renewable power source, since Cabo Verde has ample experience operating wind power, wind power offers both quality and quantity in conformity with the grid code, and output is relatively level and easy to utilize.

Will wind power generation output suppression be implemented in so Vicente & Boa Vista?

As was indicated earlier in Table 10.2-4 (Connectable Capacity for Renewable Energy without output suppression), wind power generation on Sal, São Vicente and Boa Vista already exceeds the Connectable Capacity for Renewable Energy without output suppression, and wind power generation output suppression is being implemented.

How is wind power assessed in Cabo Verde?

※Assessments of wind power and solar power are conducted inside the development zones designated by the Government of Cabo Verde. Particularly concerning wind power, which has been poorly assessed in parts, it is necessary to consider drastic revision of development standards, etc. including review of the zones.
