The presidency of São Tomé and Príncipe in the CPLP is focused on cooperation in the energy sector, following the theme "Youth and Sustainability in the CPLP".
Under the motto "Driving a Resilient, Sustainable and Inclusive Energy Transition for CPLP", the II CPLP Energy Conference will take place on May 27th and 28th, 2025, at the Estoril Congress Center, in Cascais (Portug
Directorate General for Natural Resources and Energy (DGRNE) will be promoting the "Webinar on the development of a framework of standards and compliance for low-emission transport and an electric mobility roadmap for
The Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Kumasi has been engaged by the United Nations Development Organisation (UNIDO) to assist the Government of São Tomé and Príncipe (STP) to develop a low carbon emissions plan for the country''s Transport Sector.
The agreement, signed by Professor (Mrs.) Rita Akosua Dickson, Vice Chancellor of KNUST, and Atushi Isoyama a representative of UNIDO, enables experts at The Brew-Hammond Energy Centre of the College of Engineering, KNUST to work with various stakeholders in STP over ten (10) months. The assignment is jointly implemented with pManifold Ltd of India.
Following the signing of the agreement, a team at The Brew-Hammond Energy Centre and pManifold have been working with agencies of STP''s Ministry of Infrastructure and Natural Resources (MIRN), Ministry of Planning, Finance and Blue Economy (MPFEA) and other stakeholders to lay out an ambitious and yet realistic plan and pathway towards reduction in emissions from the transport sector.
Provost of the College of Engineering, Professor Kwabena B. Nyarko expressed his delight at the opportunity for KNUST to share its rich expertise with other African nations. He disclosed that the College is currently supporting the Government of The Gambia in the development of engineering programmes at a newly founded University of Applied Science, Engineering and Technology (USET).
The Project at STP is led by Dr. Godwin Kafui Kwesi Ayetor, a Senior Lecturer at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, KNUST and a Fellow of The Brew-Hammond Energy Centre. Dr. Ayetor is one of Ghana''s leading experts in e-mobility and transport. The team includes Dr. David Ato Quansah and Prof Joseph Oppong Akowuah, both Fellows of The Brew-Hammond Energy Centre.
As the world progresses towards carbon neutrality, the transport sectors in many countries are putting in place measures to assess and reduce their carbon footprint in line with national and global targets.
The technical assistance to STP is part of the Green Climate Fund (GCF) a funded programme titled "Building institutional capacity for a renewable energy and energy efficiency investment programme for São Tomé and Príncipe."
In a related development, the Centre''s Fellows have recently provided expertise to the Energy Commission of Ghana in the preparation of the Ghana Electric Vehicles Baseline Survey Report under its Drive Electric Initiative (DEI-Gh) and also assisted the Ghana Standards Authority with the development of standards for electric vehicle charging systems in the country.
São Tomé and Príncipe remains firm on the path towards the energy transition, with a view to increase the country''s resilience to external shocks, reducing energy dependence, making large-scale use of the potential of existing renewable energies, promoting energy efficiency and electric mobility.
The last four years have been of hard work, with an important progress in the areas of regulation, planning and structuring of the action plans. From now on, the 2022-2030 period should be fulfilled with important milestones linked to the structural aspects of the promotion of national measures for energy sustainability, namely with the progress of the operational phase that, at this moment, are having moderate advances derived from the difficult situation that the whole world is facing, caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.
However, in the current context of the crisis, the concern with resilience, energy security and universal access to clean energy, gain even greater relevance, confirming the assertiveness of our energy policy.
Regarding the development of renewable energies, the goals established in the new Action Plans for the energy sector 2030/2050, which were presented on April 21st in a webinar organized by ALER and are available for consultation here, aim to reach above 50% production of electricity from renewable energy sources by 2030, and exceed 68% of electricity production from renewable energy sources by 2050.
The effort on distributed generation for self-consumption will also have its contribution to the implementation of these measures. The last survey reveals an installed capacity of around 2 kW considering cooperative units and fishing associations. The objective is to reach at least an accumulated 2 MW of distributed generation by 2030.
Regarding electric mobility, at least five electric vehicles are already circulating in the country. In 2040, the 1st phase of implementation of the project to promote electric mobility will take place, for which all the necessary legislation and regulations are being developed and a supplementary concession program is being put in place.
We also want to structure an electric mobility project for the artisanal fishing sector and inter-island transport within the scope of the blue economy strategy.
However, the sustainability of these changes involves an important effort of institutional development and consolidation, namely improvement of the environment, business and availability of human resources with high levels of qualification and certification.
Today, the Sustainable Development Goals, including the development of renewable energies and the promotion of energy efficiency and energy access, are part of the agenda of all CPLP member countries and beyond, which within the diversity of the potentialities and in the scoop of the national context represents an unique and privilege opportunity for exchange, strengthening cooperation ties, establishment of technical and business partnerships, exchange of experiences, technologies and research, and the development of human resources.
