Cabeólica

Cabeólica is a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) established in 2008 between InfraCo Limited, a privately-managed infrastructure development company financed by funds from several European countries (and which acted as the main developer of the project), the Government of Cabo Verde, through the Ministry of Tourism, Industry and Energy, and Electra SARL, the local electricity concessionary company. The goal of the PPP was the development, financing, construction, ownership and operation of four wind farms in Cabo Verde, with a total installed capacity of 25.5 MW, distributed among the islands of Santiago (9.35 MW), São Vicente (5.95 MW), Sal (7.65 MW) and Boa Vista (2.55 MW). As such, the company's main objective is the production of electricity for the national grid as an independent producer using non-polluting, renewable and naturally abundant wind energy.
