Senegal''s First Oil Exports Push Economic
Senegal''s economy experienced record growth in the third quarter of 2024, driven by the start of oil production from the Sangomar field.
The Government of Senegal is committed to diversifying its energy mix by adding solar and increasing wind to the grid. While awaiting first gas in 2023, the government hopes to import LNG as a bridging measure and convert all current HFO plants to gas-to-power plants.
Traditional biomass – the burning of charcoal, crop waste, and other organic matter – is not included. This can be an important source in lower-income settings. Senegal: How much of the country's electricity comes from nuclear power? Nuclear power – alongside renewables – is a low-carbon source of electricity.
Due to dependence on expensive liquid fuels for 90 percent of power generation, Senegal has some of the highest generation costs in Africa. While electricity generation costs range from 34 to 38 cents per kilowatt hour, consumers pay roughly 24 cents per kilowatt hour with the difference covered by government subsidies.
Phase One's 16 turbines began supplying 50 MW of electricity to Senegal's grid in December 2019, while additional phases since July 2021 add 108 MW, increasing the country's electricity supply by 15 percent.
In Senegal, 65% of the population has access to electricity. Strong policies and incentives have supported liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) use and less than 25% of the urban population now relies on solid biomass for cooking.
Senegal is also committed to renewable energy resources, with approximately one-third of its energy mix coming from renewables. In February 2020, President Sall officially inaugurated the first phase of the Taiba Ndiaye Wind Park, Senegal's first utility-scale wind project which, when completed, will be the largest in West Africa.
Senegal''s economy experienced record growth in the third quarter of 2024, driven by the start of oil production from the Sangomar field.
Overall, the objective of the policy is to improve the reliability and affordability of access to modern electricity services in a sustainable manner by: (i) ensuring energy security
