Gabon aims to produce 100% clean electricity by 2035. While the energy mix is expected to be dominated by hydroelectricity, solar power plant projects have multiplied in the country in recent years. Gabon has many assets in the field of renewable energy: solar, wind, and biomass. At the African. . Today, Energtec company is one of the most important PV suppliers in North America and Europe globally. Current installed capacity is about 750 MW. Conventional sources of energy have proven unsustainable in the past and thus the country of Gabon has sought a better alternative. Therefore, increasing energy self-sufficiency nd diversifying energy sources without relying on fossil fuels had become an issue.
