<p>The proposed Kaléta dam project entails the construction of a gravity dam, with a 240 MW capacity. The Kaléta site is located in Guinea, 115 km northeast of Conakry and 130 km upstream of the mouth of the Konkouré River.</p>

<p>This project was previously part of the larger Gambia River Basin Development Organisation (OMVG) project involving the four countries, namely The Gambia, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau and Senegal. Guinea, however, decided to develop Kaléta as a stand-alone. Interconnection to other OMVG countries remains intended in future.</p>

<p>The project will have the following characteristics:</p>

<ul>
<li>Storage hydropower plant with 240 MW of hydropower capacity</li>
<li>Net average generation: 660 GWh/year</li>
<li>Gravity dam with maximum height: 22 m, crest length: 1060 m, reservoir storage: 23 million m3.</li>
</ul>

<p>The IAS faces multiple constraints; in particular difficulties of access to water resources related to the excessive depth (over 600 m) in some regions. Moreover, the lack of sub-regional strategic water resources management has led to changes in aquifer hydro-dynamics and water quality degradation. It constitutes the main perennial resource of potable water and a strategic resource for the sustainable development of the concerned countries. </p>
