Altogether, these three variables give an efficient judgement of the feasibility for developing photovoltaic power generation. 4.2. Statistical results and analysis Based on the above methods and models we can further analyze the necessity and feasibility of financing PV power generation in Cameroon.
Photovoltaic power generation has become an important pillar of the energy development strategies of all countries. Cameroon is committed to attaining 25% of energy production from renewable energy sources, with solar energy contributing up to 6% of total energy production in the country by 2035 (Power Africa, 2019).
The financing structure is sharply unbalanced The financing of solar PV power generation in Cameroon comes mostly from public-private partnerships (PPP) and accounts for more than 97.89% of total investment in the sector.
Though, Njoh et al. (2019a) vaguely proposed decentralization of the institutional structure for energy policy administration as a solution to facilitate the development of PV power generation in Cameroon. However, no specific recommendation was given on how to refine the application process for PV power generation in Cameroon.
The government, through the national utility Energy of Cameroon (ENEO) and the Electricity Development Corporation (EDC), is equally involved in the development of solar PV power stations, which supplies additional electricity to localities that are not connected to the national grid network (MINEE, 2014).
Cameroon’s PV investment structure is extremely unbalanced, whereas in countries with advanced PV power generation industries, such as China, the United States, Japan, etc., the sources of financing are much more diversified.
