African Solar Generation (ASG) is a Swiss-Cameroonian solar company based in Yaoundé, Cameroon. The company''s vision is to combat energy poverty in Cameroon at all levels – from
The first two modular solar power plants in Maroua and Guider, with battery storage and a combined capacity of 30 MW, were commissioned in Sep-tember 2023. The Cameroonian government states that Cameroon needs almost 2000 billion euros to finance its energy projects.
The Maroua and Guider power plants, Cameroon's first public solar pro-ject with a combined capacity of 30 MW, were commissioned by MINEE in Sep-tember 2023. Additionally, a 20 MW solar power plant is planned for the city of Garoua.
Cameroon has initiated a comprehensive program to construct 50 mini hydroe-lectric power plants. This strategy, backed by a public-private partnership, aims to improve the quality of electrical service and reduce the production costs associ-ated with diesel-fired thermal power plants, which significantly burden the public finances .
The Guider modular solar power plant in the north, with a capacity of 15 MW, is currently producing 1.5 MW, with plans to reach full capacity by the end of 2022. This should help reduce the deficit in the Northern Interconnected Grid (NIG).
