Cabeolica Phase II Wind-Storage Project
Sector: Wind • Location: Cabo Verde
Source: Renewables Now
The African Development Bank (AfDB) approved a EUR 19.6 million financing package to support the Cabeolica Phase II project in Cabo Verde. This project is the first in the country to combine wind power with battery energy storage systems (BESS) at scale. It will expand the existing Cabeolica power project by adding 13.5 MW of wind generation and 26 MWh of grid-connected battery energy storage acro

Description
Description | The African Development Bank (AfDB) approved a EUR 19.6 million financing package to support the Cabeolica Phase II project in Cabo Verde. This project is the first in the country to combine wind power with battery energy storage systems (BESS) at scale. It will expand the existing Cabeolica power project by adding 13.5 MW of wind generation and 26 MWh of grid-connected battery energy storage across five installations on four islands. The project aims to produce over 60 GWh annually, displacing expensive thermal generation and reducing carbon dioxide emissions. It is backed by a 20-year power and storage services agreement with the national utility Electra SA at tariffs below the national average generation cost. |
