SEGESA (stands for Sociedad de Electricidad de Guinea Ecuatorial) is the national company of Equatorial Guinea, with its head offices in , . It is the sole operator of the electricity sector of Equatorial Guinea. The company was created in November 2001 by a merger of the national company SONER and the national electricity corpor. . Sendje Hydroelectric Power Station is a 200 megawatts (270,000 hp) hydroelectric power station under construction in . The power station is under development by the , with funds borrowed from the (BDEAC). The (EPC) contractor for this proje. [pdf]
The primary lawmaking body for national electricity policy in Equatorial Guinea is the Ministry of Industry and Energy. The Ministry is responsible for regulation and compliance in the sector. Specific laws that deal with power sector management, tariffs and operations were passed in 2002 and 2005.
The power station is under development by the Government of Equatorial Guinea, with funds borrowed from the Development Bank of Central African States (BDEAC). The engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor for this project is Duglas Alliance, a Ukrainian multinational engineering and construction company.
Electricity consumption in Equatorial Guinea in 2015 was 36 kilotonnes of oil equivalent (ktoe). The country produces all of the energy it consumes. As of 2012, renewable energy accounted for 29.2% of the final energy mix.
The three units are overseen by SEGESA Holding. Equatorial Guinea has two main electricity systems, for Bioko Island, and for the continental Rio Muni region. SEGESA has 730 employees across the three business units in Malabo for the Bioko system, and 823 employees in Bata and the continental region.
The power grid in Equatorial Guinea is divided in two parts: the island grid (Malabo, Bioko Island) and the continental grid (Bata, Rio Muni). The high voltage power grid in the Rio Muni region has allowed the government to invest in interconnection points with Gabon and Cameroon.
Energy in Equatorial Guinea is an industry with plenty of potential, especially in the fields of oil and natural gas. However, production has been declining in recent years due to under-investment and lack of new discoveries. In 2022, the country produced less than 100,000 barrels of oil per day (bopd) according to OPEC data.

Gemasolar is the first commercial solar plant with central tower receiver and molten salt heat storage technology. It consists of a 30.5-hectare (75-acre) solar heliostat aperture area with a power island and 2,650 heliostats, each with a 120-square-metre (1,300 sq ft) aperture area and distributed in concentric rings around. . Gemasolar is a plant with a molten salt heat storage system. It is located within the city limits of in the province of , . . After the second year of operation the plant has exceeded projected expectations. In 2013, the plant achieved continuous production, operating 24 hours per day for 36 consecutive days, a result which no other solar plant has attained so far. Total operation is. . • • • . The plant is of the type and uses concepts pioneered in the and demonstration projects, using as its heat transfer fluid and energy. . • • • • • [pdf]
Gemasolar is a 19.9 MWe thermosolar power plant with 120 MWt molten salt central receiver. Solar field of 310,000 m 2 mirror surface. Solar thermal energy collected and stored in molten salts for 15 hours of production, and steam turbine with 3 pressure levels.
Gemasolar is the first commercial plant in the world to use the high temperature tower receiver technology together with molten salt thermal storage of very long duration. Gemasolar is a 19.9 MWe thermosolar power plant with 120 MWt molten salt central receiver. Solar field of 310,000 m 2 mirror surface.
This page provides information on Gemasolar Thermosolar Plant / Solar TRES CSP project, a concentrating solar power (CSP) project, with data organized by background, participants, and power plant configuration.
It makes use of several advances in technology after Solar Two was designed and built. Gemasolar is the first commercial solar plant with central tower receiver and molten salt heat storage technology.
The Gemasolar power plant has a thermal storage system which stores part of the heat produced in the solar field during the day in a molten salt mixture of 60% sodium nitrate and 40% potassium nitrate. A full storage tank can be used to operate the turbine for about 15 hours at full-load when the sky is overcast or after sunset.
Gemasolar is able to produce 80 GWh per year, generate enough power to supply 27,500 households and reduce by more than 28,000 tons per year the CO 2 emissions. Total mirror surface: 310,000 m2. Number of heliostats: 2,650. Field surface area: 195 Ha. Receiver capacity: 120 MWt. Tower height: 140 m. Thermal storage capacity: 670 MWhth (15 h).

Three sources make up the in : , and . Biomass (firewood and ) makes the largest contribution in primary energy consumption. It is locally produced, while Guinea imports all the products it needs. The potential for hydroelectric power generation is high, but largely untapped. Electricity is not available to a high percentage of Guineans, especially in rural areas, and service is intermittent, even in the capita. [pdf]
Three primary energy sources make up the energy mix in Guinea: fossil biomass, oil and hydropower. Biomass (firewood and charcoal) makes the largest contribution in primary energy consumption. It is locally produced, while Guinea imports all the petroleum products it needs.

No data for Guinea for 2021. Electricity is primarily used for heating, cooling, lighting, cooking and to power devices, appliances and industrial equipment. Further electrification of end-uses, especially transportation, in conjunction with the decarbonisation of electricity generation, is an important pillar of clean energy transitions.
Guinea did not import energy. Energy sources, particularly fossil fuels, are often transformed into more useful or practical forms before being used. For example, crude oil is refined into many different kinds of fuels and products, while coal, oil and natural gas can be burned to generate electricity and heat.
