How much solar energy does Cameroon have?

The potential of solar energy in Cameroon is high with an average estimated solar irradiance of 5.8 kWh/day/m 2 in the Northern parts of the country (42% diffused ) and 4.9 kWh/day/m 2 for the rest of the country , . The national yearly average is about 4.2 kWh/day/m 2 .

How is electricity distributed in Cameroon?

Cameroon electricity distribution is carried out in three separate supply networks or grid systems, each grid responsible for meeting its full demand requirement. These grids are: the northern interconnected grid (NIG), the southern interconnected grid (SIG) and the eastern isolated grid .

Can wind energy be used for small scale applications in Cameroon?

The potential of wind energy for small scale applications (water pumping systems, water farms for livestocks and small irrigation schemes) for rural households in the far north region of Cameroon has been assessed in . 2.3. Biomass energy

Can renewables solve energy problems in Cameroon?

Electricity needs are expected to continue rising over the next decade to reach 5000 MW by 2020 and 6000 MW by 2030. This paper seeks to address energy issues (reliability, accessibility and security) in Cameroon and brings to light the potential and meaningful contributions of renewables in solving energy concern.

Does Cameroon use biomass?

However, in Cameroon, there is still a heavy reliance on traditional biomass (firewood, charcoal, sawdust, etc.) for heating needs, which contributes 65 % to national energy consumption [ 44 ].

How many subsystems does Cameroon have?
