Understanding the Power Sector & Grid Infrastructure in Equatorial Guinea

The national power network is managed by SEGESA (Sociedad de Electricidad de Guinea Ecuatorial), an autonomous state entity operating under the Ministry of Industry and Energy. The national grid consists of two primary unlinked networks: the Bioko Island Grid and the Continental Interconnected Grid.

1. Generation Sources

Bioko Island is powered by the Turbogas Punta Europa natural gas generation station (utilizing associated gas from the Alba and Zafiro offshore fields) alongside the Riaba hydroelectric facility. The mainland continental grid relies primarily on the 120 MW Djibloho Hydroelectric Plant on the Wele River and the Sendje project, providing substantial base-load renewable power.

2. Prepaid STS Meters (Contador Prepago)

SEGESA has extensively deployed Standard Transfer Specification (STS) keypad prepaid meters. Users purchase encrypted 20-digit token numbers from SEGESA commercial offices, authorized telecom recharge outlets, or mobile money agents. The credit units are measured directly in kilowatt-hours (kWh) rather than currency value once keyed into the unit.

3. Energy Efficiency & Voltage Stability

The standard distribution voltage is 220V/50Hz single-phase and 380V/50Hz three-phase. Surge protection and automated voltage regulators (AVRs) are standard practice for sensitive industrial equipment and residential electronics during seasonal grid reconfigurations.
