List of power stations in Guinea

From Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

This page lists the main power stations in Guinea contributing to the public power supply.

There are also a number of private power plants supplying specific industrial users such as mines and refineries.

Guinea is considered to have considerable renewable energy potential. Schemes at an advanced state of development are included.

Country Priority Plan and Diagnostic of the Electricity Sector,[1] published in November 2021 by the African Development Bank [AfDB], heavily informs this article.
