15 January 2026: JIVO Energy has successfully concluded the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) of a 1.2 MWp Solar PV grid connected plant in São Tomé and Príncipe.

Financed by the African Development Bank (AfDB) and having the Energy Transition and Institutional Support Programme (ETISP) as implementing agency on behalf of the Ministry of Natural Resources, Energy and Environment (MNREE), the project got commissioned in May and is having 3 years of Operations & Maintenance services ahead.

São Tomé is mostly relying on diesel generators for supplying the required load, with active operational capacity falling below the peak load demand at the moment, leading to temporary load-shedding to manage the existing constraints on the supply side. Having these 1.2 MWp adding to the grid is an important contribution to the current power scenario in the island.
