Records by technology

Counts records, not generation share · coverage & dates

Reported capacity is the rated size of the listed installations, not electricity being produced now. Source dates and coverage differ, so newer facilities may be absent and historical records may remain.

How electricity works in Guinea

Vertically integrated utilityOne utility does everything

The Kaléta and Souapiti dams supply most power.

    Member of the West African Power Pool, the ECOWAS body building interconnectors and a regional electricity market across West Africa.

What does “Vertically integrated utility” mean?

A single, usually state-owned utility generates, transmits and distributes electricity. Prices are set or approved by the government or a regulator rather than by a market.
