Tangible impact
The LCPDP resulted in a recommendation for the development of the optimal expansion plan for the generation, transmission and distribution system of São Tome and Principe.
Our approach
Activity 1: Review of existing power development plans and detailed analysis of the production centres of the two islands, São Tomé and Principe.
Activity 2: Development of least-cost power development plan (LCPDP) for São Tome and Principe. This activity involved the development of a LCPDP for the islands of São Tome and Principe, for 20-year horizon starting in 2017.
