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 type of energy is used in Benin?
The evolution of the electrical mix of Benin indicates that, in , 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 , as shown in Fig. 3.
What is Benin's current energy situation?
This section provides information on Benin’s current energy situation with energy demand-and-supply scenarios. According to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), 41% of Benin’s population currently have access to electricity.
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.
What is the wind potential of Benin?
The theoretical wind potential of Benin is estimated to be 322 MW, with a wind speed at 10 m ranging from 3 to 6.1 m/s in the coastal zone and from 1 to 2 m/s in the country’s north .
How does Benin get electricity?
The country’s electricity supply is provided through two main sources, namely national production and imports. The Electricity Community of Benin (CEB), which is a mixed society between Benin and Togo, is responsible for providing electrical power to Benin.
