The Mekin Hydroelectric Power Station, also referred to as Mekin Power Station, is a 15 MW (20,000 hp) hydroelectric power station, in Cameroon. This power station has been under construction since early 2010s, with initial commissioning planned for 2015. However, the project has been beset by multiple delays, plant shutdowns and restarts. The power station was partially re-started in June 2022 to allow the generation and evacuation of 11.25 MW of electricity, comprising 75 percent of maximum capacity. When current production testing is concluded, it is expected that the final unit will be brought online during the fourth quarter of 2022.

When current production testing is concluded, it is expected that the final unit will be brought online during the fourth quarter of 2022. This renewable energy infrastructure project is under development by Mekin Hydroelectric Development Corporation (Hydro Mekin also HydroMekin), a Cameroonian independent power producer (IPP). The energy off-taker is ENEO Cameroon S.A., the public-private partnership electricity utility company. The electricity is intended for distribution primarily, in the Dja and Lobo Department of the South Region of Cameroon, where the power station is located. (en)
