| Description : |
Cameroon benefits from Africa's third hydroelectric potential, currently under-exploited, despite increasing electricity needs, particularly in rural areas. In this context, ENEO, a private company with a public electricity utility mission in Cameroon, regularly studies the opportunities for developing new electricity generation sites based on national political strategies, data quality of service to its layout and various local expressions of need for electricity supply. ENEO thus identified several possible sites for the construction of small hydropower plants that would ultimately improve the quality of service of its users on the network while optimizing electricity generation costs. The consortium led by IED was therefore mandated for the : 1 / completion of a detailed design for a small hydropower plant (PCH) of 2.5MW in Marom, western Cameroon; 2 / the transfer of this competence to the ENEO teams with a view to reproducibility on other sites. |
