Benin power storage
In Benin, which has among the world"s lowest levels of per-capita electricity consumption, MCC and the Government of Benin are implementing the $391 million Benin Power Compact with
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.
In Benin, the energy sector strategy is aimed at improving the energy independence of the country and diversifying its sources of supply through the implementation of various interconnection projects with neighbouring countries and the enhancement of the national RE potential.
In urban and peri-urban areas, access to electricity is provided by the SBEE through its distribution network, while in rural areas it is entrusted to the Beninese Agency for Rural Electrification and Energy Management (ABERME) through off-grid electricity production .
In addition, the Vossa hydroelectric power plant of 60.2 MW is to be built with an annual production capacity of 188.2 GWh. An additional hydroelectric plant is planned to be installed in Bétérou to increase the national electricity production in Benin . Bioenergy can also play a crucial role in the energy sector in Benin.
