"The energy transition will be accelerated. Around 40 MW of new solar and wind capacity will be completed in 2023", said Ulisses Correia
Hybrid Wind and Solar Electric Systems | Department of Energy
In much of the United States, wind speeds are low in the summer when the sun shines brightest and longest. The wind is strong in the winter when less sunlight is available. Because the peak operating times for wind and solar systems occur at different times of the day and year, hybrid systems are more likely to produce power when you need it.

6 FAQs about [Combination of solar and wind energy Cabo Verde]
Does Cape Verde have solar power?
In 2012 Cape Verde had an installed electricity generation capacity of around 300 MW, of which about 24% from wind power plants and 3% from photovoltaic stations. While solar power has an enormous potential as a source of renewable energy, natural conditions in Cape Verde are one of the best in the world for the production on wind energy.
What is the energy sector in Cape Verde?
Cape Verde energy sector is strongly characterized by consumption of fossil fuels (derived oil-primary imported oil), biomass (wood) and use of renewable energy particularly wind and solar power.
How can Cape Verde meet its goal of 50% renewables?
Cape Verde can meet its goal of 50% renewables today by integrating energy storage. A 100% Renewable System is achieved from 2026, with a 20 year cost from 68 to 107 M€. Current paradigm doubles emissions in 20 years and costs ranges from 71 to 107 M€. The optimal configuration achieves 90% renewable shares with a cost from 50 to 75 M€.
Does Cape Verde have a wave energy potential?
In the case of Cape Verde, there is one study evaluating the wave energy potential which highlights the resource available, particularly for the northern islands, such as São Vicente . Unfortunately, the study identifies the wave resource to match that of the wind.
Is Cape Verde a viable alternative to fossil fuels?
Solid waste can also represent an adequate option while ocean and geothermic energy are being tested, with uncertainties remaining as to their efficiency. Cape Verde has an estimated potential of 2,600 MW of renew-able energy, and more than 650 MW have been studied in concrete projects, which have lower production costs than fossil fuels.
Is Cape Verde a developing state?
The archipelago of Cape Verde is a developing state in West Africa with extreme external energy dependency on refined oil imports despite their available solar and wind resources. Aligned with the global energy transition, the local government established goals in 2011 aiming at 50 and 100% RES.
