The investment indicators for this project are quite bankable that the Yaounde City Council, with the recent decentralization of municipalities, could source partnership agreement with the Rural Electrification Agency in lobbying solar energy investors to set up this project which could be used as an additional source of income for the council.
In line with this goal, the study assesses the feasibility of a 211.75 MW solar PV power plant in Yaounde, Cameroon using RETScreen Expert. The simulation showed an annual electricity production of 304,668.191 MWh with arrays mounted on a fixed axis.
Economic viability of the solar PV project show the economic viability of the solar PV project with a cost of energy (COE) of $75.43/MWh or $0.075/kWh which is equivalent to 48.75 FCFA (far less than the 82 FCFA tariff for commercial users in Cameroon).
Conclusions A detailed feasibility analysis of a 211.75 MW grid-connected solar PV was conducted in order to assess the project’s viability in Cameroon through examining the risk, technical, sensitivity, financial and the environmental impact on Cameroon.
The solar PV project’s cost of energy (COE) was $75.43/MWh or $0.075/kWh which is equivalent to 48.75 FCFA/kWh. This is cheaper than the electricity price of 84 FCFA/kWh for commercial users (Electricity Sector Regulatory Agency (AESEL), Citation 2012) in Cameroon.
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 250% in the past two years. Containerized energy storage solutions now account for approximately 45% of all new commercial and industrial storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 42% market share, driven by corporate sustainability initiatives and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 18-28%. Europe follows closely with 35% market share, where standardized industrial storage designs have cut installation timelines by 65% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 50% CAGR, with manufacturing scale reducing system prices by 20% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting industrial storage solutions for peak shaving and backup power, with typical payback periods of 2-4 years. Major commercial projects now deploy clusters of 15+ systems creating storage networks with 80+MWh capacity at costs below $270/kWh for large-scale industrial applications.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving industrial energy storage performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal operating conditions with 45% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 20+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $85/kWh to $40/kWh since 2023. Smart integration features now allow multiple industrial systems to operate as coordinated energy networks, increasing cost savings by 30% through peak shaving and demand charge management. Safety innovations including multi-stage fire suppression and thermal runaway prevention systems have reduced insurance premiums by 35% for industrial storage projects. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple system additions at just $200/kWh for incremental capacity. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial and industrial projects typically achieving payback in 3-5 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard industrial systems (1-2MWh) starting at $330,000 and large-scale systems (3-6MWh) from $600,000, with volume discounts available for enterprise orders.
