STORY HIGHLIGHTS

• The OMVG transmission network has increased Guinea’s electricity trade capacity to 340,000 KVA, up from zero in 2015, surpassing the original project target and enabling reliable cross-border energy exchange.
• Guinea’s hydropower plants (Kaleta and Souapiti) now supply clean energy domestically and export 1,174 GWh annually to Senegal, The Gambia, and Guinea-Bissau, supporting regional energy transition and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
• Commercial losses in Guinea’s grid are projected to decrease from 40% in 2025 to 20% by 2030, thanks to grid modernization, regularization of illegal connections, and deployment of pre-paid meters under the project.
