The investment indicators for this project are quite bankable that the Yaounde City Council, with the recent decentralization of municipalities, could source partnership agreement with the Rural Electrification Agency in lobbying solar energy investors to set up this project which could be used as an additional source of income for the council.
In line with this goal, the study assesses the feasibility of a 211.75 MW solar PV power plant in Yaounde, Cameroon using RETScreen Expert. The simulation showed an annual electricity production of 304,668.191 MWh with arrays mounted on a fixed axis.
Conclusions A detailed feasibility analysis of a 211.75 MW grid-connected solar PV was conducted in order to assess the project's viability in Cameroon through examining the risk, technical, sensitivity, financial and the environmental impact on Cameroon.
Economic viability of the solar PV project show the economic viability of the solar PV project with a cost of energy (COE) of $75.43/MWh or $0.075/kWh which is equivalent to 48.75 FCFA (far less than the 82 FCFA tariff for commercial users in Cameroon).
However, government has established some economic incentives such as the tax exemption on the importation of solar panels and accessories (Cameroon National Assembly, 2011), as well as most recently giving a 10-year tax holiday (Ngalame, 2022) to any investor willing to invest in solar PV deployment in the country.
