The results show that achieving universal access to modern energy services in Cameroon requires prioritising investments in grid densification, extension, and modernisation, along with distribution systems. It is also found that mini grid PV systems can play a significant role in meeting Cameroon's electrification goals.
Reducing the large inefficiencies in the generation and distribution of electricity would also mobilise substantial domestic finance to invest in grid densification and extension. In addition, intra-regional technical cooperation is imperative to increase energy access in Cameroon.
Alternative scenarios for the expansion of electricity in Cameroon were analysed using the energy system modelling OnSSET. Aspects such as technologies deployment costs, electricity demand and integration of new generation projects were assessed.
Results show investments in grid densification, extension and modernisation are crucial to achieve universal energy access. In addition, mini grid PV systems can play a significant role in achieving the electrification targets in Cameroon.
