When it met in July, the Council of Ministers approved an updated National Renewable Energy Development Policy (PONADER) for 2020-2030. The policy renews the government’s commitment to solar energy to reduce the country’s economic dependence on fossil fuels, while also broadening access to.
The Off-Grid Electricity Access Project (OGEAP) in Benin is a component of the Benin Power Compact, a $391 million effort funded by the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) from 2017 to 2023. The OGEAP was allocated $31 million to improve off-grid electrification with the Off-Grid Clean Energy.
This paper summarizes the current RE situation in Benin and examines its future prospects. The current energy situation of the country is discussed, followed by an examination of its electricity demand-and-supply situation. The country has been found to depend heavily on natural gas and petroleum.
Benin is making significant strides in renewable energy, with plans to install 150 MW of solar power capacity by 2026. This ambitious goal is a key part of the government’s agenda to diversify the country’s energy mix, reduce its reliance on imported fossil fuels, and support sustainable economic.
Benin has unveiled a €45 million (29.51 billion CFA francs) solar energy program led by Axian Energy in partnership with Sika Capital, aimed at powering around 50,000 households and advancing the country’s energy strategy. The project will see the construction of four solar power plants in Bohicon.
Construction launched on 12 November at the 25MWp Forsun Solar PV plant in Pobè, Benin. The project is the result of cooperation between the French Development Agency (AFD), the European Union and the Beninese government to invest almost 16 billion West African Francs ($25.58 million) into buildin
