While decentralized renewable energy (DRE) is still emerging in Guinea, it holds immense potential for the agriculture sector, where smallholder farmers and service providers are eager to adopt clean energy solutions.
This report highlights solar PV as the most promising DRE technology for boosting productivity and post-harvest processing in key value chains such as rice, maize and vegetables. With a focus on solar-powered water pumping, milling, and cold storage, the study estimates significant market potential for these solutions, which could enhance food security and economic growth.
The report also outlines key policy, financial and market interventions needed to unlock DRE’s potential, helping Guinea build a more resilient, productive and sustainable agricultural sector.
