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.
Based on the current installed energy capacity in Somalia, solar energy contributes approximately 11.9% of total power generation in the country and is expected to increase in the upcoming years.
When planning and implementing solar projects in Somalia, it is essential to consider these factors and their potential impact on the project's success. To ensure the success of a solar energy project from an economic point of view, it is essential to evaluate its financial viability and reliability beforehand.
This is not just a statistical correlation; it is a clear indication that investing in solar, wind and other renewables could fundamentally place Somalia on the path of increased energy access and green transition. By contrast, other forces are pushing in the wrong direction.
