Cameroon has immense hydroelectric potential yet fails to meet the electricity demands of its population and businesses. Despite an estimated annual demand increase of around 85,000 new customers, the country faces a significant energy shortfall for households and businesses . Table 4 details energy consumption by sector.
A critical examination of the current state and evolution of various energy sources, demand and supply, and the country's energy policy was conducted. Cameroon, aiming to become an emerging country by 2035, is heavily investing in hydroelectricity and developing other alternative electricity production sources to address the energy deficit.
Scientific articles and investigative reports on energy production in Cameroon have enabled an assessment of the current electrical energy production. The 2035 production estimate is based on the Energy Sector Development Projects (PDSEN) report in Cameroon. The cur-rent production is estimated at around 1600 MW. Considering the ongoing
Exogenous obstacles In addition to potential internal obstacles that could hinder reaching a 5000 MW capacity, there are external factors beyond Cameroon's control that might cause unexpected delays in energy production. Large-scale operations like these are typically financed through international loans.
