Solar Energy: Somalia has high renewable energy potential. Solar power could generate an excess of 2,000 kWh if the country reached its full capacity. Recently there has been progress in developing solar energy systems in the country by private sector electricity companies.
This study explores Somalia's energy profile and the potential for harnessing solar energy. The installed photovoltaic capacity was found to be 41 MW and contributed 11.9% of the total electricity generation. A case study on a solar power microgrid system in Bacadweyene, Somalia, is also presented.
In addition, several other companies exist that provide off-grid solar energy solutions, including Blue Sky, Solargen, Delta, and others. Financing represents the biggest obstacle to Somalia realizing its potential as a hub for renewable energy. International development partners are providing support in the solar energy sector.
The simulation results using PVGIS revealed that the solar PV installation in Somalia produced two-fold the energy amount compared to PVs installed in Germany. Hence, RE, such as solar energy, can reduce electricity costs and the negative environmental impacts .
Energy supply Somalia's energy capacity is around 344 MW, mainly generated from imported diesel fuel. However, some ESPs have installed grid-connected solar PV systems. In Table 3, Energy supply and tariffs in the Federal Member States have seen a 36% yearly increase in the past six years.
When planning and implementing solar projects in Somalia, it is essential to consider these factors and their potential impact on the project's success. To ensure the success of a solar energy project from an economic point of view, it is essential to evaluate its financial viability and reliability beforehand.
