São Tomé und Príncipe (seltener Sankt Thomas und Prinzeninsel [5]), portugiesisch São Tomé e Príncipe [sɐ̃w̃ tuˈmɛ i ˈpɾĩsɨpɨ], ist ein Inselstaat im Golf von Guinea, etwa 200 km vor der Küste Afrikas westlich vor Äquatorialguinea und Gabun.Die Insel São Tomé ist nach dem Heiligen Thomas benannt; Príncipe ist die „Insel des Prinzen" (oder: des „Fürsten").
The population of Sao Tome and Principe descends primarily from the islands'' colonial Portuguese settlers, who first arrived in the late 15th century, and the much larger number of African slaves brought in for sugar production and the slave trade. For about 100 years after the abolition of slavery in 1876, the population was further shaped

The island of Principe has solar irradiation levels that range from 700 to 1000 kWh/m 2 /year. The average daily photovoltaic power output is 3.72 kWh per installed kWp [ 82 ]. Fig. 18 shows a map of the solar resources on the island.
Multi-national engineering and automation firm ABB, headquartered in Switzerland, said last week thatit is delivering a fully-contained microgrid project for Jamaica Public Service Company (JPS), the island nation’s sole electricity distributor and an integrated utility.
As the demand for electricity grew, the country ceased the development of new projects for hydropower, and increased the installation of diesel generator units. Some of the mini hydropower plants started to degrade due to lack of proper maintenance. This was the case for the plant installed on the Papagaio river of Principe Island.
Small-scale hydro plants look appealing as a flexible baseload generation source, cheap and convenient to couple with intermittent solar power plants. However, the options besides the rehabilitation of Papagaio are very limited.
