Guinea Bissau Policy Note
The national grid is fragmented between the capital Bissau, which benefits from a distribution network recently upgraded to 10 kV and stable power supply, and several poorly performing and costly isolated systems in interior cities, e.g. Bafata and Gabu.
Guinea: Energy Country Profile
So, reducing energy consumption can inevitably help to reduce emissions. However, some energy consumption is essential to human wellbeing and rising living standards. Energy intensity can therefore be a useful metric to monitor. Energy intensity measures the amount of energy consumed per unit of gross domestic product.
