Cameroon: President Paul Biya’s initiatives to strengthen energy infrastructure
Through his leadership, President Paul Biya has implemented strategic initiatives to modernize the energy infrastructure of Cameroon. Relying on a young and dynamic cabinet, he has placed emphasis on strengthening the energy sector to support the country’s economic development.
These ambitious projects aim not only to improve electricity production but also to ensure a stable and sustainable supply to accompany the growth of Cameroon growth.
Among the most notable achievements, the construction of the Song Loulou, Grand Eweng, and Petit Eweng hydroelectric dams plays a crucial role.
These hydraulic infrastructures have significantly increased the nation’s energy production capacity, thereby contributing to better coverage of energy needs.
The development of these dams is part of a national strategy to diversify energy sources, reducing dependence on fossil fuels and supporting Cameroon’s ecological goals.
In parallel, President Paul Biya has supported the creation of thermal power plants, such as the one in Kribi.
These facilities complement the country’s energy supply, particularly in areas where hydropower is insufficient.
The Kribi project, with its significant production capacity, has become a pillar of energy supply for Cameroonian industry and households.
These advances in the energy sector reflect President Paul Biya’s vision for a modern and competitive Cameroon. With the support of a young and dynamic cabinet, he has succeeded in transforming the energy landscape of the country, thereby preparing Cameroon to meet the challenges of the 21st century and maintain sustainable growth.
