Get StartedSolar 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.
In addition, several other companies exist that provide off-grid solar energy solutions, including Blue Sky, Solargen, Delta, and others. Financing represents the biggest obstacle to Somalia realizing its potential as a hub for renewable energy. International development partners are providing support in the solar energy sector.
This study explores Somalia's energy profile and the potential for harnessing solar energy. The installed photovoltaic capacity was found to be 41 MW and contributed 11.9% of the total electricity generation. A case study on a solar power microgrid system in Bacadweyene, Somalia, is also presented.
The simulation results using PVGIS revealed that the solar PV installation in Somalia produced two-fold the energy amount compared to PVs installed in Germany. Hence, RE, such as solar energy, can reduce electricity costs and the negative environmental impacts .
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.
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 global commercial and industrial solar energy storage battery market is experiencing unprecedented growth, with demand increasing by over 400% in the past three years. Large-scale battery storage solutions now account for approximately 45% of all new commercial solar installations worldwide.
