The Moroccan company Cegelec, through its subsidiary VINCI Energies Guinea, launched on April 18, 2026, a 50 MWc photovoltaic solar power plant project in Kindia in the west of the country, with a cost estimated at 192.5 million euros. According to Guinean authorities, this project is part of the national energy capacity strengthening and diversification of electricity production sources.
The project also includes the development of energy transport infrastructure to the interior of the country, particularly towards Dabola. Spread over an area of 80 hectares, it will include a 50 MWc solar power plant, a 33/110 kV evacuation substation, and a 110 kV high-voltage line over 11 km connecting the site to the Linsan substation.
The infrastructure is intended to increase electricity production and transport capacities, with the integration of an additional 50 MWc into the national grid. The commissioning is scheduled to be done progressively after the completion of the works.
The project also includes strengthening electrical interconnections and improving energy supply in several areas of the country, in connection with the new infrastructure put in place.
