Guinea — Energy Infrastructure

OverWatts maps 23 energy assets in Guinea across 5 layers — the 124th-largest mapped base of 157 countries. They include 8 power plants, 5 interconnectors and 5 cement plants. Operating generation capacity is 690 MW, led by hydro at 100%.

The companies named on the most assets are West Africa LNG Group (3), China International Water & Electric Corp (2) and Ciments de l'Afrique Guinea SA (2), counting both ownership and operatorship. Half of Guinea's mapped assets in service predate 2015 (median commissioning year of the 5 with a known date), 2 came online in the past decade and the oldest still listed is Dubréka Cement Plant, dating from 2012. 16 projects are under construction or proposed, led by West Africa Kamsar power station (1.8 GW).
