The Souapiti Hydropower Station is a larger hydropower facility upstream of Kaleta on the Konkouré River in Guinea. Commissioned in 2021 and developed by CWE, it, together with Kaleta, generates 690 megawatts supplying over 80 percent of Guinea's electricity demand. This project further reduced the nation's reliance on fuel oil and helped Guinea become a net exporter of renewable energy.
