How much electricity does Somalia have?
Somalia’s energy story is at a juncture: it has an installed capacity of approximately 400 megawatts (MW), with 300 MW powered by diesel and 100 MW by solar and wind. Today, about 80% of urban households and only around 24% of rural communities have access to electricity, according to World Bank data.
Should Somalia invest in solar & wind?
This is not just a statistical correlation; it is a clear indication that investing in solar, wind and other renewables could fundamentally place Somalia on the path of increased energy access and green transition. By contrast, other forces are pushing in the wrong direction.
Should Somalia be betting on Clean Power?
The data makes it clear: renewables aren’t just environmentally sound; they’re also economically and socially transformative. For Somalia, betting big on clean power may be the smartest and most achievable development decision of this decade.
Why do we need Urgency in Somalia?
The case for urgency is twofold. First, climate impacts are already exacerbating the fragilities in Somalia; prolonged droughts, erratic rainfall and floods are disrupting livelihoods and pushing millions into displacement. Second, global momentum is shifting.

Does Somalia have a National Transformation Plan?
Somalia has submitted its third-generation nationally determined contributions (NDC 3.0), outlining its goals under the Paris Agreement. The country has also launched its National Transformation Plan (–), which aims to increase electricity access to 60% by and significantly reduce its dependency on diesel.
