Somalia's energy sector is considered promising for growth and investment. Small and medium-sized private sector companies are the main providers of electricity generation and distribution, primarily running diesel powered systems through off-grid networks.
The World Bank will commit $150 million to the Electricity Sector Recovery Project for Somalia. The project aims to increase access to lower cost and cleaner electricity supply in project areas and to reestablish the electricity supply industry. The project selected Mogadishu and Hargeysa as the major load centers.
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.
The project also aims to reestablish a stable electricity supply and support regional integration. Out of a population of about 15 million, 9 million Somalis lack access to electricity services, and the cost of power is among the highest in the world.
