Somalia opens tender for 10 MW photovoltaic solar plant in
Somalia''s Ministry of Energy and Water Resources has opened a tender for a 10-megawatt solar power plant integrated with a 20-megawatt-hour battery energy storage system.
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.
Somalia's energy story is at a juncture: it has an installed capacity of approximately 400 megawatts (MW), with 300 MW powered by diesel and 100 MW by solar and wind. Today, about 80% of urban households and only around 24% of rural communities have access to electricity, according to World Bank data.
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.
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.”
