Release by Scatec is proud to announce the construction start for the second phase of its solar and battery energy storage system (BESS) projects in northern Cameroon. This milestone was marked by a first stone ceremony on 15 September, celebrating the expansion of our solar and battery plants in Maroua and Guider.
Building on the success of our initial installations, this extension will increase our total capacity to 64.4 MW of solar power and 38.2 MWh of battery storage. Once operational, the plants will generate 141.5 GWh of renewable energy annually, enough to power approximately 200,000 households and significantly reduce reliance on costly fuel-based energy.

This project is made possible through our strong partnership with ENEO, Cameroon’s national utility, and the continued support of the Government of Cameroon. As Hans Olav Kvalvaag, CEO of Release, explains:
“Our partnership with ENEO demonstrates how public-private collaboration can accelerate affordable and reliable energy deployment through Release’s modular and pre-financed approach combined with ENEO’s determination.”
The two new solar and battery plants will help meet growing energy demand and improve electricity services for communities across northern Cameroon. This initiative supports the country’s broader energy strategy and underscores our commitment to delivering clean, reliable power where it’s needed most.
Together, we are laying the foundation for a brighter energy future – powered by the sun and built on strong collaboration.
