Cameroon express keen interest in renewable energy

The Cameroonian Minister of Energy and Water has just made a call for expressions of interest to recruit a consultant “to conduct studies on prospecting and the development of a map of renewable energies based on nature and ores.”

The first phase of this inventory of renewable energy sources in Cameroon will be done in five regions of the country, including the Centre, East, Coast, South and South-West. The study will enable the creation “of a geo-referenced database and a programming tool for the construction of renewable energy projects that take into account the specificities of each region in Cameroon.”

Consultants interested in this call for expressions of interest had until May 26, 2014 to submit their bids to the Renewable Energies Directorate of the Ministry of Energy in Yaoundé, and were required to demonstrate a financial capacity greater than 10 million FCfa.
