Somalia\u2019s Minister of Energy and Water Resources, Abdullahi Bidhaan Warsame, has announced a major plan by the Somali government to halve its dependence on imported fossil fuels for electricity generation, replacing them with solar energy within three years.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the Somali Winners Forum (BGS25) held in Mogadishu, Minister Bidhaan highlighted significant progress made in the country\u2019s electricity sector, for which he said he was deeply grateful to Somali private companies.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere has been significant progress in the electricity sector in Somalia, and this is an effort implemented by Somali companies. I am deeply grateful to these companies that took responsibility when the government collapsed and stood up to provide light to our society,\u201d said Minister Bidhaan.<\/p>\n

\u201cTheir investment, amounting to almost one billion dollars, has contributed significantly to the lighting of the country.\u201d he continued his statement<\/p>\n

According to official statistics, currently almost 85% of the electricity used in Somalia is generated from imported fuel.<\/p>\n

Minister Bidhaan said that the ministry is working to ensure that by 2028, at least 50% of the country’s energy is generated from solar energy, in order to achieve a sustainable, clean, and affordable energy system.<\/p>\n

This energy transition by the government is part of efforts to support economic growth, environmental protection and climate change resilience.<\/p>\n

This plan is part of the Somalia Electricity Sector Recovery Project (SESRP) and the National Transformation Plan 2025\u20132029, which prioritizes the development of renewable energy and the expansion of the country\u2019s electricity infrastructure.<\/p>\n
