Power Plants in Equatorial Guinea
Equatorial Guinea has 3 power plants mapped on the OverWatts open energy atlas — the 140th-largest fleet of the 155 countries that hold any, and under 0.1% of the world's mapped total. Of these, 2 operating and 1 under construction or proposed. Operating generation capacity totals 274 MW across 2 utility-scale plants of 100 MW and above. The largest is Sendje hydroelectric plant (200 MW).
The largest owner-operators are Government of Equatorial Guinea (1), Ministry of Mines Industry and Energy (1) and Sociedad de Electricidad de Guinea Ecuatorial SA (1) — Government of Equatorial Guinea alone is named on 33% of them. 1 is in the pipeline, led by Sendje hydroelectric plant (200 MW), under construction. They account for 27% of every energy asset OverWatts maps in Equatorial Guinea.
