Cameroon’s energy sector, if revitalized, would have a greater potential to contribute to the country’s economic growth and social development.

What is the current energy production in Cameroon?

Scientific articles and investigative reports on energy production in Cameroon have enabled an assessment of the current electrical energy production. The 2035 production estimate is based on the Energy Sector Development Projects (PDSEN) report in Cameroon. The cur-rent production is estimated at around 1600 MW.

How does Cameroon protect the environment?

Will Cameroon produce 5000 MW by 2035?

However, by 2020, pro-duction had only reached 1040 MW, leading Cameroon to devise a new na-tional energy sector development strategy targeting 5000 MW by 2035. This paper provides an overview of the current state of energy production and projects future output by 2035.

Why is Cameroon so timid in developing energy infrastructure?

It is obvious that the timidity observed in the development of energy infrastructure in Cameroon is attributable to the slowdown of investments in decentralised energy production, most likely the consequence of an unfavourable investment environment.

Will Cameroon achieve a universal access to electricity by 2035?

In addition, this paper introduces the energy roadmap to achieve a universal access to electricity, which will pave the way for the country emergence by 2035.
