Cape verde new energy storage project
Cape Verde"s Special Project Management Unit is inviting bids to design, supply and install four energy storage systems (ESS). The ESS will be located on Fogo island (2.08 MW/2.08 MWh),
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).
Additional project components are expected to include: Together, these efforts aim to eliminate Cabo Verde's dependence on fossil fuels by 2040. The project will ensure that all new storage capacity, especially the pumped storage system, will be fully dedicated to renewable energy use, supporting a resilient and sustainable power system.
The central component is a pumped storage facility on Santiago, the archipelago's main island, which will store renewable energy and improve grid stability. Additional project components are expected to include: Together, these efforts aim to eliminate Cabo Verde's dependence on fossil fuels by 2040.
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.
