Senegal is rapidly advancing its energy transition through large-scale infrastructure, regional gas integration and ambitious electrification goals. With an electricity access rate of 84% and a target of universal access by this year, the country is investing in renewable energy, modern gas.
The West African nation, where over 60% of the population have access to electricity—one of the highest in the sub region—aims to achieve universal energy access by 2030. Senegal has begun commercial operations at a new solar energy facility that combines photovoltaic power with lithium-ion battery.
