There is no national power grid. Diesel generators are the primary source of electricity. Most generators and distribution equipment are old and inefficient, resulting in a low-quality electricity supply. Regarding costs per kilowatt-hour of electricity, Somalia has one of the highest unit prices in Africa.
Current generation capacity is 106 megawatts, largely composed of expensive and pollutant diesel generators, though Somalia has great potential for solar and offshore wind power generation that can support a transition to green energy and reduce GHG emissions.
Somalia relies mainly on high-speed diesel generator sets for electricity generation, using 121,000 L of diesel daily. This is expected to increase to 694,000 L by 2024 due to rapid urbanization [39, 40]. RE is a viable option for long-term energy development.
Wind Energy: Studies suggest Somalia has high potential for onshore wind power and could generate between 30,000 to 45,000 MW. A pre-conflict 1991 article in the scientific journal Solar Energy assessed that “the wind resource appears suitable for power production in 85 percent of the country.”
