Gabon — Energy Infrastructure

OverWatts maps 19 energy assets in Gabon across 6 layers — the 129th-largest mapped base of 157 countries. They include 8 power plants, 3 pipelines and 3 cement plants. Operating generation capacity is 656 MW, led by gas at 76%.

The companies named on the most assets are Ciments de L'Afrique Gabon (3), Omnium des industries et de la promotion (3) and Perenco SA (2), counting both ownership and operatorship. Half of Gabon's mapped assets in service predate 2013 (median commissioning year of the 5 with a known date), 1 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is Grand Poubara hydroelectric plant, dating from 2013. 5 projects are under construction or proposed, led by Booué hydroelectric plant (411 MW).
