General description
In Yaoundé, the capital of Cameroon, the Urban Energy Transition Project aims to modernize energy management and public lighting.
This program is associated with the FASEP initiatives (Fund for Studies and Aid to the Private Sector).
It takes place in a context of frequent power cuts and heavy dependence on diesel generators.
The pilot project is based on a smart microgrid installed around the City Hall.
It combines photovoltaic solar energy, battery storage, and smart LED public lighting.
Remote-management systems make it possible to control energy consumption in real time.
The first results show a strong reduction in consumption and CO₂ emissions.
The project is currently in the consolidation phase and preparation for urban replication.
