In addition, this paper introduces the energy roadmap to achieve a universal access to electricity, which will pave the way for the country emergence by 2035. It is found that energy sector of Cameroon holds promising possibilities of development and diversification given the country's energy potential.
In the specific case of Cameroon, a more in-depth knowledge of the country's hydropower potential could have influenced power infrastructure development policy and led to improved energy access rate.
Three scenarios are developed, and the allocation of power generators to meet the electricity demand at a particular time is based on the 25% renewable energy target in the Cameroon NDCs by 2035, the GDP, the load duration curve, and the mean plant capacity factor which are entirely stated exogenously.
From Cameroon's NDCs, specific emissions reduction measures for the power sector include the increase in energy efficiency and ensuring a 25% share of renewable energy in the total generation mix by 2035.
Recommended actions for minimizing power losses in Cameroon entails conducting appropriate power system studies to determine/select the optimal size, location and specifications of grid components (such as transformers, transmission and distribution lines, capacitor banks and compensators). These measures however aim at reducing technical losses.
The power sector in Cameroon operates a highly centralized governance structure, at the top of which is the Ministry of Energy (Njoh et al., 2019), led by a minister. Even though the ministry has regional and divisional offices all over the country, all major decisions on the power sector are taken in Yaounde, the country's capital.
