6 FAQs about [Benin off grid renewables]

Who can benefit from a new off-grid solar scheme in Benin?

How can Benin increase local production?

However, the government of Benin is making serious efforts to increase local production through national projects, specifically the Solar Energy Promotion Project (PROVES) and the Renewable Energy Development Program (PRODERE) . The principal RE sources in Benin are hydro energy, biomass energy, wind energy and solar energy.

Will EIB support Engie to deploy off-grid solar power in Benin?

The new Benin cooperation follows EIB’s previous support for ENGIE to deploy off-grid solar power in Uganda. Benin is the sixth African country to benefit from the EIB’s streamlined support for African off-grid energy investment, following recent backing for projects in Mozambique, Uganda, Chad, the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Comoros.

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.

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.
