As of March 2022, Gabon''s installed electricity generation capacity was reported as 750 megawatts. Of this, about 50 percent is sourced from natural gas. The remaining portion is sourced from hydropower and fossil-fuel sources. The Government of Gabon has ambitions to source 80 percent of its grid supply from renewable energy sources by 2030.[1][2]
The design to this solar farm calls for a generation capacity of 120 megawatts, when fully developed. The power station will be developed in two phases of 60 megawatts each. The power is primarily for use in Libreville, where 250 megawatts of new generation are needed by 2023, in order to comply with previous environmental emissions commitments.[1][2]
The company that owns and is developing this power station, is called Solen.[1][2] Solen specializes in building solar power stations in Africa. The company is based in France.[3] In addition, Solen is expected to train the staff of SEEG, the Gabonese electric utility parastatal, in the operation and maintenance of solar power stations.[2]
3.3.2020. ENGIE Africa and its subsidiary AUSAR Energy are launching the construction of 8 hybrid solar power plants at remote sites in the Northwest, in partnership with the Caisse des Dépôts et Consignation du Gabon. It''s a major pilot project to give energy access to isolated villages and help the environment.
The 8 solar power plants we will build will save one million litres of fuel oil per year, or 2600 tonnes of CO2, and reduce production costs by 30%. Installed near isolated villages, they will supply nearly 1600 homes. Their technology constitutes a major innovation for Gabon, which for the first time will be developing skills in photovoltaic solar power. These plants will contribute to the country''s climate plan to reverse the Gabonese energy mix, until now consisting mainly of fossil fuels.
The lifespan of the main photovoltaic equipment (the panels and installation structures, in particular) is 25 years. The solar power is constant over the lifetime of the power plants during this period, namely 2.8 MWp. After this period, solar energy production will decrease linearly due to natural ageing of the photovoltaic panels. For comparison, a generator set must be replaced completely every three or four years.
As part of this project for 8 solar power plants, 26 direct full-time jobs have been created in Gabon for periods varying between 6 and 24 months. Once the Ndjolé power plant is installed, staff activity will be reduced and will relate to maintenance of the system and land as well as cleaning the solar panels every six months, requiring two people for a week.
The technical team at Ausar Energy, a subsidiary of ENGIE Africa, has built up experience in the design and management of projects to install solar power plants of more than 20MW at remote sites. The companies selected by Ausar Energy and ENGIE Africa to install the solar power plants in Gabon, namely Sagemcom and Engie Maroc, have carried out comparable installations in Morocco, Cameroon, Burkina Faso, Niger, Tanzania, Madagascar and Zambia. The installation of the equipment is guaranteed for 10 years.
3.3.2020. ENGIE Africa et sa filiale Ausar Energy lancent la construction de 8 centrales solaires hybrides dans des communes isolées du Nord-Ouest, en partenariat avec la Caisse des Dépôts et Consignation du Gabon. C''est un projet-pilote majeur dans l''accès à l''énergie de villages isolés et pour l''environnement.
Les 8 centrales solaires permettront d''économiser un million de litres de fuel par an, soit 2600 tonnes de CO2, et de réduire les coûts de production de 30%. Installées à proximité de villages isolés, elles fourniront près de 1600 foyers. Leur technologie constitue une innovation majeure pour le Gabon qui va développer, pour la première fois, des compétences dans l''énergie solaire photovoltaïque. Ces centrales participeront au plan climat du pays pour renverser le mix énergétique gabonais jusque-là majoritairement constitué d''énergies fossiles.
La durée de vie des principaux équipements photovoltaïques (panneaux, structures de pose, notamment) est de 25 ans. La puissance solaire est identique sur la durée de vie des centrales durant cette période à savoir 2,8 MWc. Passé cette période, la production énergétique solaire va décroître de manière linéaire en raison du vieillissement naturel des panneaux photovoltaïques. A titre de comparaison, un groupe électrogène se change en intégralité tous les 3 ou 4 ans.
Dans le cadre de ce projet de 8 centrales solaires, 26 emplois directs à temps plein ont été créés au Gabon pour des durées variant entre 6 et 24 mois. Une fois la centrale de Ndjolé installée, l''activité générée sera réduite et portera sur l''entretien du système et du terrain ainsi que sur le nettoyage des panneaux solaires tous les 6 mois mobilisant 2 personnes pendant une semaine.
L''équipe technique d''Ausar Energy, filiale d''ENGIE Afrique, a une expérience cumulée de conception et de gestion de projets d''installation de centrales solaires dans les sites isolés de plus de 20 MW. Les entreprises sélectionnées par Ausar Energy et ENGIE Afrique pour l''installation des centrales solaires au Gabon, à savoir Sagemcom et Engie Maroc, ont réalisé des installations comparables au Maroc, au Cameroun, au Burkina Faso, au Niger, en Tanzanie, à Madagascar et en Zambie. L''installation des équipements est garantie 10 ans.

ENGIE has signed an agreement with CDC, the Gabonese financial institution Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations, to deploy eight hybrid solar power plants in Gabon, representing a combined capacity of 2.2 MW.
The implemented solution was developed by ENGIE''s subsidiary, Ausar Energy in collaboration with CDC, the Gabonese Ministry of Energy, and the Gabonese energy and water company Société d''Énergie et d''Eau du Gabon (SEEG) and means that solar energy can be used in eight locations that are currently supplied by oil-fired thermal power stations.
Mini-grid solutions are becoming more popular to deliver electricity to rural areas. There are 1 billion people worldwide without access to electricity and off-grid solutions could be the cheapest and easiest solution for about 70% of them. It is estimated the market in the segment will be worth $64 billion by 2030.
