A Strategic Push for Energy Independence
Cabo Verde imports nearly all its energy needs, making the country vulnerable to global fuel price fluctuations. By investing in renewables, the government hopes to stabilize energy costs, create green jobs, and achieve net-zero emissions in the coming decades.
