· Experienced with the entire greenfield development process of wind power projects across the United States. Thomas Tschiesche, Ph.D., Advisor Dr. Tschiesche received a Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Washington, Seattle and a Ph.D. from the University of Duisburg.
The project constructed 30 wind turbines across four of Cape Verde''s islands (Boa Vista, São Vicente, Sal and Santiago) and established Cabeólica SA as the first Public Private Partnership (PPP) to deliver commercial scale wind power in sub-Saharan Africa.
The Cape Verde government has signed a contract with the domestic partly state-owned wind power operator, Cabeolica, to support its wind farm expansion and battery installation projects in the archipelago nation off the West African coast.
In terms of wind power, Cape Verde has an exceptional wind condition, which normally blow at high speed, particularly on the islands north of the archipelago, generally stable and of monodirectional prevalence. These are important conditions for wind energy production, and in Cape Verde, such conditions meet in the best possible way.
The Cape Verdean archipelago, 570km off the West African coast, is consistently windy with average speeds of ten metres per second. The first grid-connected wind turbines were constructed in 1994 to harness this potential, but twelve years later wind power represented less than two percent of Cape Verde''s energy mix.
In Cape Verde, the electricity produced by the four wind parks of Cabeólica, an ALER member, avoided the emission of 47,261 tonnes of CO2 in 2022, according to the company, which plans to start expanding production this year.

In Cape Verde, special-purpose company Cabeolica has obtained the go-ahead from the authorities to expand its wind energy production capacity on the island of Santiago. The company will also invest in electricity storage.
Working jointly with the Government of Cape Verde (GoCV) and Electra S.A.R.L (the national utility), InfraCo Africa provided the initial funding and expertise required to develop a sustainable, commercially viable 25.5MW wind farm across four of Cape Verde''s islands (Boa Vista, São Vincente, Sal and Santiago).
The project company, Cabeolica S.A., was established by the founding partners in 2009 and began generating power from September 2011. Lying across the trade winds belt, the archipelago has consistent wind speeds of up to 10m/s creating one of the best locations in the world for wind power generation.

SCHENECTADY, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, February 18th, 2021. Wind Works Power Corp. (OTC:WWPW -News) is pleased to announce that it received positive grid connection results for it''s new US Gigawatt project pipeline. Wind Works received the results for 10 projects for a total of about 2 Gigawatts (2,000 Megawatt) wind and solar projects.
The Cabeolica wind farm, set across four islands of the Cape Verde archipelago, has led the way in wind power generation in Africa. The project company, Cabeolica S.A., was established by the founding partners in 2009 and began generating power from September 2011.

The project constructed 30 wind turbines across four of Cape Verde’s islands (Boa Vista, São Vicente, Sal and Santiago) and established Cabeólica SA as the first Public Private Partnership (PPP) to deliver commercial scale wind power in sub-Saharan Africa.
The project company, Cabeolica S.A., was established by the founding partners in 2009 and began generating power from September 2011. Lying across the trade winds belt, the archipelago has consistent wind speeds of up to 10m/s creating one of the best locations in the world for wind power generation.
Cabeolica S.A. is the first commercial-scale, privately financed, public private partnership (PPP) wind farm in sub–Saharan Africa. The PPP is held between the Government of Cape Verde; Electra, the government owned utility company; and InfraCo, a publicly financed privately managed project development company.
Now it is completed, Cabeolica provides 25% of the country’s energy. The project means a substantial reduction in fuel imports leading to significant financial savings. Abundant source of renewable energy, cheaper and cleaner than previous sources relied on in Cape Verde.
The European energy storage market is booming with Germany leading residential adoption (+58% YoY) thanks to €500/kWh subsidies. Italy's new tax credits drive 5.2GWh commercial deployments, while UK grid-scale projects exceed 8GWh with 2-hour duration systems. Key selection criteria: German-certified safety (VDE-AR-E 2510), 10+ year warranties, and VPP readiness. Top-performing products include Sonnen's hybrid inverters (98% efficiency) and BYD's Blade Battery (12,000 cycles @80% DoD). For snowy regions like Scandinavia, consider Huawei's -30°C compatible systems. France mandates carbon footprint declarations - Sungrow's ISO-14067 certified solutions gain preference.
For European homeowners, 5-10kWh systems with 3-phase compatibility are ideal. Top picks: 1) Tesla Powerwall 3 (13.5kWh, 97% round-trip efficiency) for smart home integration; 2) LG Chem RESU Prime for compact urban installations; 3) SMA Sunny Boy Storage for retrofit projects. Critical features: EU-made battery cells (exempt from CBAM tariffs), dynamic tariff optimization (like Octopus Energy integration), and fire-safe LiFePO4 chemistry. Southern Europe demands 85%+ depth of discharge capability, while Nordic markets require -25°C operation. Always verify CEI 0-21 compliance for Italian grid connection and EnWG certification for German feed-in.
