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.
As mentioned above, Senegal is implementing a gas to power program in the energy sector. The purpose of the program is to convert existing thermal power plants to dual-fuel and to build future thermal power plants using natural gas as a primary energy source.
The Republic of Senegal launched the Energy Sector Development Policy Letter of October 31, 2012, pursuant to Act no. 2010-21 on the Renewable Energy Policy Law of December 20, 2010, and Decree no. 2011-2013 on the Implementation of the Renewable Energy Act.
In 2013, the Republic of Senegal adopted the strategic energy plan, which aimed to increase the energy mix dynamic in the country for a five years (2013-2018). The energy mix refers to the development of power generation from coal, gas, hydro, solar and wind. Current percentages of power generation:
Senegal is also making large strides towards its goal of universal energy access. According to the IEA, in 2022, 75% of Senegal’s population had access to electricity, one of the highest rates in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Senegal is a strong advocate for just energy transitions. The country has already met the wind and solar targets it established for 2025 under its most recent Nationally Determined Contribution to the Paris Agreement, and it has joined the Global Methane Pledge to reduce the world’s methane emissions 30% from 2020 levels by 2030.
