Energy Transition, Efficiency, and Expansion Project (ETREEP)

planned

The ETREEP project aims to transform São Tomé and Príncipe's energy sector by reducing reliance on imported diesel and accelerating the shift to renewable energy. It includes infrastructure upgrades such as installing 1,000 energy-efficient LED streetlights, developing a 4 MW solar power plant with a 2 MWh battery storage system on Príncipe Island, modernizing electricity distribution networks, introducing over 40,000 prepaid meters, and upgrading the national electricity dispatch centre. The project also involves strengthening national institutions through training and technical assistance to ensure sustainability and improve operational capacity.
