TGS has been awarded a significant project to conduct a pre-feasibility study for the electric interconnection of the Cabo Verde Islands in collaboration with RTE International and Consultores de Engenharia e Ambiente S.A. (COBA). TGS will leverage its extensive offshore power intelligence under the 4C Offshore name.
This study is part of Cabo Verde’s ambitious energy transition efforts, underpinned by the Government of Luxembourg’s Development-Climate-Energy (DCE) program. The initiative aims to increase renewable energy penetration, reinforce energy security, and promote economic sustainability in Cabo Verde.
The analysis will assess the technical, economic, and environmental feasibility of interconnecting the islands, a vital step toward optimizing renewable energy resources such as wind, solar, and potentially green hydrogen. With its unique geographic and climatic conditions, Cabo Verde presents opportunities to harness renewable energy effectively, and the island interconnection would further enhance energy efficiency, reduce costs, and increase the potential for offshore renewable energy projects.
Key elements of the study include:
Carel Hooijkaas, Executive Vice President of New Energy Solutions at TGS, stated, “We are proud to be part of this transformative journey for Cabo Verde. The project award underscores our commitment to advancing renewable energy solutions and aligns with the ambitious goals of Cabo Verde’s Energy Master Plan. By leveraging the 4C Offshore expertise, we aim to help Cabo Verde and other island nations achieve their vision of a sustainable and resilient energy future, significantly reducing carbon footprints while enhancing energy independence.”
The 4C Offshore Subsea Cable & Pipeline Consultancy team at TGS offers independent expertise in planning, technical, legal, commercial, and insurance aspects. A dedicated team ensures high-quality project delivery and reliable system operations in the marine environment, providing clear and professional guidance through complex subsea challenges.
