Guinea’s transitional government has initiated a national consultation on the pan-African “Mission 300” project, which aims to provide electricity to 300 million African households by 2030. Backed by the World Bank and the African Development Bank, the initiative represents a major step in the continent’s energy transition.
In Guinea alone, the project requires a $272 million investment, with $132 million already allocated by the World Bank for the second phase of expanding electricity access.
Local entrepreneurs are being encouraged to invest in mini solar power systems, as the government pushes for faster implementation and greater private sector involvement.
Alongside plans to deploy 300,000 prepaid meters by the end of 2025, Guinea aspires to become a net electricity exporter within five years. This energy ambition aligns with broader national goals of industrialization and mineral exploitation, including projects like Simandou.
The government views Mission 300 as a strategic tool to drive sustainable development and economic transformation.
The country’s National Energy Pact is anchored on five pillars: competitive infrastructure, regional integration, rural electrification and clean cooking, private investment, and sustainable financial governance.
