The national electric utility of Senegal, Senelec, has signed a 20-year CCA with Infinity Power for a battery energy storage project.
The IEA’s Energy Policy Review of Senegal 2023, published today, finds that energy is at the heart of Senegal’s 2035 strategy for accelerating sustainable development and economic growth known as the Plan Sénégal Émergent (PSE), or the Emerging Senegal Plan.
In 2022, Senegal spent almost 4% of its gross domestic product (GDP) on energy subsidies. The government pledge to reduce this share to 1% by 2025 is a major and welcome reform commitment. The roadmap in place guides the implementation in the coming years.
Senegal’s significant efforts to develop its energy sector and deliver energy access to more people are laying important groundwork for the country to achieve its broader economic objectives, according to a new report from the International Energy Agency (IEA).
Since the launch of the Plan Sénégal Émergent, Senegal has adopted reforms designed to attract foreign investment in its energy sector and boost participation from the private sector, while leveraging significant support from development finance institutions.
This partnership could mobilise up to EUR 2.5 billion to support Senegal’s efforts to achieve universal energy access and strengthen a resilient, secure and sustainable energy system that fosters sustainable development and economic growth. In 2024, Senegal is expected to become an oil and gas producer.
