The Memvé’élé hydroelectric dam, under construction in the southern region of Cameroon, will produce its first kilowatts in September 2016, the project monitoring team announced while specifying that 80% of the construction works for this energy infrastructure have been completed. The steering committee of the Memvé’élé project also revealed that this dam will be officially commissioned in June 2017.
The Memvé’élé hydroelectric dam, which the Chinese company has been building since 2012, will supply an additional 200 MW during peak hours (between 6 PM and 10 PM), and will thus contribute to reducing the energy deficit from which Cameroon suffers.
This energy infrastructure of FCfa 420 billion in total, is for the most part financed by a loan from Eximbank China, with approximately FCfa 243 billion, against FCfa 112 billion from AfDB and FCfa 65 billion from the State of Cameroon.
