As of April 2020[update], the energy sector in Senegal has an installed capacity of 1431 megawatts (MW).[1] Energy is produced by private operators and sold to the Senelec energy corporation. According to a 2020 report by the International Energy Agency, Senegal had nearly 70% of the country connected to the national grid.[2] Current government strategies for electrification include investments in off-grid solar and connection to the grid.[1][2]
Most of the energy production is from fossil fuels, mostly diesel and gas (733 of 864 MW).[1] An increasing amount of the energy production comes from sustainable sources, such as Manantali Dam in Mali and a new wind farm in Thiès opened in 2020—however, it is still a small portion of the total production. Despite increases in production in the 2010s, the economy is frequently hindered by energy shortages compared to demand.
