To better exploit this potential, the construction of hydroelectric power plants is increasing.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t \t\t With an installed capacity of 420 MW, Nachtigal will be Cameroon's most powerful power plant when it is scheduled to come online in the second half of 2024. The project site is located 70 kilometers northeast of the capital Yaound\u00e9. The dam, built on the Sanaga River, will be 1.455 km long, and the intake canal will be 3.3 km long. The development, construction, and operation of this hydroelectric facility is the responsibility of the Cameroonian company Nachtigal Hydro Power Company (NHPC), which is 40% owned by EDF. The project cost is \u20ac1.2 billion. EDF Cameroon and the EDF Hydro Hydraulic Engineering Center are providing assistance to the project owner, NHPC. Approximately 3,500 people are working on the construction of this facility, which, with its 420 MW, will be the most powerful hydroelectric facility in the country. Started in 2019, the dam will, once commissioned, provide electricity to a third of Cameroon's population.<\/p>\n French energy production and distribution company EDF is seeking to raise more than \u20ac991.6 million (650 billion CFA francs) for the construction of a second hydroelectric dam in Kikot, on the Sanaga River. The Kikot project includes a dam and water reservoir, as well as a hydroelectric power plant, which will be the largest electricity generating facility in Cameroon (between 450 and 550 MW). <\/p>\n Construction of the dam is expected to begin in 2025. The project is scheduled to be commissioned in 2029.<\/p>\n In April 2022, the first private hydroelectric power plant of less than 5 MW was inaugurated in the village of Mbakaou. This project, supported by the French Global Environment Fund (FFEM), is helping to pave the way for the country's energy transition. Located in the Adamaoua region, this plant provides renewable electricity to 40,000 rural residents. This model is intended to be replicated and adopted by Cameroonian developers. Cameroon has therefore launched a program to build 50 other mini-hydroelectric power plants.<\/p>\n This strategy, backed by a public-private partnership, should lead to a better quality of electricity service, a reduction in production costs as well as budgetary savings. Similarly, on the environmental level and with the shutdown of thermal power plants, the construction and commissioning of these facilities will contribute at the national level to the fight against climate change, Cameroon having set itself the objective of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 35% by 2030. Furthermore, the construction of small hydroelectric power plants allows for the development of fishing in the beneficiary localities, the production of the sector also being better preserved thanks to abundant and stable energy.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t \t\t A Paul Biya Monument in Sangmelima\u00a0 A monumental gate in three-dimensional metal structures will overlook the plateau of the Prefecture of Sangmelima, the development of urban squares in metal hedges, the development of a Paul Biya leisure square on the site of Avebe Yekombo; the addressing of streets, avenues and boulevard in the city of Sangmelima, the construction of a garden restaurant on the square of the municipal circle, the restructuring of the urban road network going from the Mepho roundabout to the city center of Sangmelima and the restructuring of the display in improvement of the facades located at the level of the commercial center area of Sangmelima.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
<\/b>The work of art financed by the Special Fund for Intercommunal Equipment and Intervention (FEICOM), in tribute to the President of the Republic, is named "Paul Biya Monument" and is erected in Sangm\u00e9lima, in the South region. The project involves the construction of an architectural, cultural and tourist monument with a museum, exhibition spaces, a media library with a games library.<\/p>\n
