The Gabonese State has signed a partnership agreement with The Nature Conservancy, an international conservation organisation operating in Gabon, to provide support on questions relating to the environmental impacts of new energy projects.
The opportunities are immense, but so are the demands. Gabon’s urban population is growing at 3.3% annually, and we have committed to increasing the energy access for rural populations, whose current 38% electrification rate is meagre compared to urban areas, which have a rate of above 80%.
Rural electrification is no easy task. Challenges include a sparse and scattered population, hilly terrain with a dense primary forest that complicates travel, and the absence of an operator to manage decentralised units. Nonetheless, World Bankstudies indicate that by 2040, Gabon will require an installed capacity of at least 1,250MW.
Nonetheless, World Bankstudies indicate that by 2040, Gabon will require an installed capacity of at least 1,250MW. However, closer to 1,850MW will be needed to power industrialisation where new processing enterprises will transform Gabon’s natural riches such as timber, manganese, and iron, which are currently exported as raw materials.
The Gabonese Fund for Strategic Investments (FGIS) and Eranove are backing two hydroelectric development projects and associated transmission lines: at Ngoulmendjim, for 85MW (550GWh) per year, and Dibwangui, for 15MW (90GWh) per year. A third, at Kinguélé-Aval, for 35MW (204GWh) per year, is backed by FGIS and Meridiam.
