According to USAID, Djibouti consumes 100 megawatts of electricity, but only 57 megawatts are reliably available to serve the population due to underdeveloped energy infrastructure. Much of Djibouti’s remaining energy comes from its own geothermal, solar, wind and biomass sources.
Electricity supply services are provided through the vertically integrated utility Electricité de Djibouti (EDD). A small amount of additional energy is generated by a solar plant (300 kW capacity). Djibouti has wind and geothermal generation potential and is actively studying these options.
The potential for development in Djibouti's energy sector remains high. The page below gives an overview of the energy sector in Djibouti.
Djibouti currently has just over 100 MW of installed generation capacity, but only 57 MW is reliably available to serve a population of 940,000 and its key industries. Geothermal resources in Djibouti have been recognized for years, and exploration activities are currently underway to identify economic vapor resources.
A small amount of additional energy is generated by a solar plant (300 kW capacity). Djibouti has wind and geothermal generation potential and is actively studying these options. Djibouti's Vision 2035 aims to achieve universal electricity access and power the nation with 100% renewable energy.
