Savannah Energy has signed a Memorandum of Agreement with the Government of the Republic of Cameroon for the development of the Bini a Warak Hydroelectric Project (Bini Project) located in the northern Adamawa Region of the country.
The signing ceremony held in Yaounde, was attended by His Excellency Gaston Eloundou Essomba, Minister of Water and Energy for the Republic of Cameroon; His Excellency Dr Christian Dennys-McClure, British High Commissioner to the Republic of Cameroon and Andrew Knott, Chief Executive Officer of Savannah.
The 75 megawatts Bini Project is expected to provide clean, stable and affordable power to Cameroon’s northern region. This is anticipated to support both existing local electricity demand and enable a number of energy-intensive industrial projects, principally in the cement and metallurgy industries, within the region. The Bini Project is expected to increase current on-grid electricity generation capacity in northern Cameroon by over 50%. There is also the potential for power to be dispatched into Cameroon’s southern electricity grid, upon completion of the interconnection, financed by the World Bank, of the northern and southern electricity networks currently planned by the Government for 2026.
