Senegal’s progress shows that African countries can simultaneously expand energy access and successfully pursue low-carbon development. With the right mix of political commitment, public engagement and smart investment, they can continue forging a path toward sustainability and prosperity.
In recent years, energy has been at the front of Senegal’s national agenda. The country has made significant progress on electricity access, which rose from 39 percent in 2001 to 74 percent in 2023, one of the fastest increases in Africa. Moreover, a quarter of Senegal's electricity supply now.
Work on a solar energy and battery storage project in Senegal, touted to be the biggest in West Africa once it goes live, is set to begin next month after an EPC (Engineering, Procurement and Construction) contract for its development was recently signed. The Kolda project will encompass a 60MWp PV.
Renewable energy investments in Senegal are primarily concentrated on solar, wind, and biomass projects, with the government targeting a 30% share of renewables in the national energy mix by 2025. Key developments include the Taiba N’Diaye Wind Farm and various solar initiatives, supported by.
Senegal is rapidly advancing its energy transition through large-scale infrastructure, regional gas integration and ambitious electrification goals. With an electricity access rate of 84% and a target of universal access by this year, the country is investing in renewable energy, modern gas.
