Abstract
Even though Cape Verde has abundant renewable energy resources, the access to electricity is provided by imported fossil fuels. Therefore the issue is the same in the informal settlements of the capital, Praia, where most of the households are connected to the grid, but the high, non-technical loss of the system is originated from these neighbourhoods. In this study, a both environmentally and economically sustainable option is proposed and the synergies between the actors in the area are analysed in order to determine the possible options that could be aligned with the ambitious renewable energy transition the country proposed until 2030.
