Cabo Verde solar grant powers renewable energy transformation across the islands
Cabo Verde’s commitment to sustainable energy took a significant step forward with a €4 million grant from the European Investment Bank (EIB).
This funding will support the installation of solar panels at schools and hospitals on the islands of Santiago, Sal, and Boa Vista. The project is a key step in the nation’s journey toward energy independence and sustainability.
This initiative is part of a broader effort to expand renewable energy access in Cabo Verde and reduce its reliance on fossil fuels. The project is expected to bring the country significantly closer to its goal of achieving 100% renewable energy by 2026, as detailed in the Cabo Verde Solar News Archives.
By investing in solar power, Cabo Verde is not just harnessing the sun’s energy; it’s securing a future of sustainable growth and energy security. This transformative project is a powerful example of how renewable energy can drive positive change and sets a compelling precedent for other nations with similar goals.
More detailed information on the project’s scope and impact is available in the report on the Cabo Verde solar project. The nation’s renewable energy ambitions are also reinforced by a solar tender for a 5 MW photovoltaic project on Santiago Island, as highlighted in the Cabo Verde solar tender.
Cabo Verde’s solar project is not just about clean energy—it’s about building a future where renewable solutions are central to national development. As global interest in renewables grows, Cabo Verde’s initiatives offer valuable lessons and inspiration for countries worldwide.
