5 FAQs about [Pv on grid system Benin]

Does wind energy contribute to the electrification of Benin?

Although hydroelectricity, biomass and especially PV technologies play an increasingly important role in the electrification of Benin, recent studies have shown that wind energy technologies can also contribute. Non-electrified rural and peri-urban localities have favourable wind potential in coastal Benin.

Which institutions are working to provide access to affordable energy in Benin?

Several institutional frameworks in the energy sector in Benin are working to provide access to affordable energy in the country. The ME is the biggest institution of the energy sector, responsible for the management of the energy sector and in charge of the implementation of RE projects.

What type of energy is used in Benin?

The evolution of the electrical mix of Benin indicates that, in 2020, natural gas was the first form of energy used to produce electrical energy, representing a proportion of 71.63%. Solar photovoltaic (PV) accounts for 0.30% of the mix by form of energy compared with 1.36% in 2016, as shown in Fig. 3.

Is Benin energy dependent?

In 2015, Benin was energy and electrically dependent at 41.3% and 76%, respectively, which worsened given energy imports at 1319.45 GWh in 2018 relative to 1202.15 GWh in 2017, an 8.07% increase due to a 76.80% drop in national electricity production in this period.

What are the future prospects for small wind turbines in Benin?

It is expected that by 2025–30, the small wind turbine sector in Benin will be a solid industry with an indispensable contribution to the electrification of the country . Table 4 summarizes the future prospects for RE in the context of Benin with some barriers to the implementation of RE projects in Benin.
