The government of the Republic of Cabo Verde, the European Union and the EIB have signed financing of €300 million ($330.6 million) for the country''s energy, digital and port sectors; more than half will go to building a grid, generation and energy storage system up to
Solid waste can also represent an adequate option while ocean and geothermic energy are being tested, with uncertainties remaining as to their efficiency. Cape Verde has an estimated potential of 2,600 MW of renew-able energy, and more than 650 MW have been studied in concrete projects, which have lower production costs than fossil fuels.
Cabo Verde''s renewable energy production has seen a steady increase, reaching 18.3 percent in 2020 and 19.6 percent in 2021. The country is currently developing 40 MW of solar and wind capacity and has installed 6 MW of distributed generation within the past five years. In addition, the first MW of battery energy storage has become operational.
