Abstract
Background and Aim : In Guinea, the supply of electrical energy still remains a major challenge, especially in rural areas. However, Guinea's hydroelectric energy potential is enormous, more than 6000 MW, with a very dense hydrographic network of 1165 rivers, which finds its origin mainly in the Fouta-Djallon. To date, only 5% of this potential has been developed and only benefits nearly 10% of the Guinean population. This study is part of this aspect, for the improvement of electricity supply in isolated areas of the country. Its objective is to evaluate the hydroenergetic potential of the waterfall in the Gueeni village on the Kokoulo river in Pita. Method : This study is based on field measurements, the use of physical formulas and sizing software to determine the energy characteristics of the site. Results: The main results obtained are: equipment flow (9.781m3/s), gross head (31 m), net head (28.264 mm), hydraulic power (3000 kW) and power net of falling water (2700 kW). Conclusion: The results obtained represent important basic data for the construction of the small power plant on the Gueeni site. Keywords: Hydroenergy potential, waterfall, Gueeni village, Electric power
