The electricity sub-sector has continued to build its capacity and reform its regulatory and institutional framework. Guinea, which is known as “the Water tower of Africa”, could be the main player in the
Many of us want an overview of how much energy our country consumes, where it comes from, and if we''re making progress on decarbonizing our energy mix. This page provides the data for your
According to AFREC 2020 energy balance, the main primary energy sources that make up the energy mix in Guinea are biomass, and oil while electricity is mainly generated from hydro-electricity sources
Three primary energy sources make up the energy mix in Guinea: fossil biomass, oil and hydropower. Biomass (firewood and charcoal) makes the largest contribution in primary energy consumption. [1]

Three primary energy sources make up the energy mix in Guinea: fossil biomass, oil and hydropower. Biomass (firewood and charcoal) makes the largest contribution in primary energy consumption. It is locally produced, while Guinea imports all the petroleum products it needs. The potential for hydroelectric power generation is high, but largely untapped. Electricity is not available to a high percentage of Guineans, especially in rural areas, and service is intermittent, even in the capital city of Conakry.
Hybrid solutions - such pumped storage power plants combined with wind and/or solar farms - are becoming increasingly important for the generation and storage of clean, renewable energy, as well
Two towns in Guinea, a country in West Africa which grapples with issues of energy security, are reaping the benefits of newly installed solar PV (photovoltaic) mini-grids backed with battery energy
