Djibouti's $390 million solar farm is under construction in southern Djibouti as a result of a public-private partnership between Djibouti’s Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources and Green Enesys, a German renewable energy firm. Construction began in 2018 after $50 million in funding was secured by the World Bank and other financiers.
In December 2023, the Republic of Djibouti signed up to the African Green Hydrogen Alliance. The country’s formidable prospects in terms of renewable energy means that Slim Feriani can look to the future with confidence. “The objective for 2035 is to be self-sufficient in energy production,” he says. “We should get there before then.
In its bid to become the first country on the continent to produce 100% green energy by 2035, Djibouti can also draw on other ambitious projects. These include the solar power project in the Grand Bara desert, for which work began in 2020.
Because of its geographical position, at the meeting point of three major rifts – the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden and the East African Rift – Djibouti also has a rich resource buried in its subsoil: Geothermal energy. President Ismaïl Omar Guelleh has been quick to make this a priority.
Lowering the cost of electricity is a major challenge for Djibouti, but the benefits would be substantial. According to the World Bank, reducing the cost of electricity and telecommunications could increase real GDP by 39.1% by 2030, generate 23,000 jobs and considerably boost household incomes, while reducing poverty.
For the government, the aim was to open up electricity production to independent operators so as to achieve energy independence as soon as possible. It should be noted that the state-owned company Électricité de Djibouti retains a monopoly on the transmission and distribution of electricity. The project was developed by Red Sea Power (RSP).
The global containerized energy storage and solar container market is experiencing unprecedented growth, with commercial and industrial energy storage demand increasing by over 400% in the past three years. Containerized energy storage solutions now account for approximately 50% of all new modular energy storage installations worldwide. North America leads with 45% market share, driven by industrial power needs and commercial facility demand.
