Hydropower Potential Assessment of Four Selected Sites in the North Interconnected Network of Cameroon

Abstract:

Hydropower potential that could trigger economic growth and develop the energy sector in general and that of the electricity in particular, if properly harnessed. This potential is a prerequisite to the implementation of energy-intensive projects, as outlined in the upcoming master plan of renewable energy development in Cameroon. This study revisits hydropower potential of four selected sites in the northern regions of Cameroon, by assessing available data for the development of hydropower. Furthermore, this paper highlights hydrologic data, prospective useful hydropower plants sizing parameters as well as energy production and investment costs.
