Senegal has remained only a marginal natural gas producer and most of its thermal electricity comes from diesel and heavy fuel oil (HFO). The General Electric /GTI Dakar IPP, which supplies approximately 20
The new law introduces the country''s first electricity code, which aims to provide a new regulatory framework for the power sector and integrates regulations related to rural electrification, provisions for
The Electricity Law (Loi No. 2010-11 of 2010) governs electricity production, transmission, distribution, and sale. Licensing and concessions for private operators are regulated by the CRSE.
A succinct Q&A guide to the regulation of electricity generation and transmission in Senegal.
With a national electricity access rate of 84%, Senegal is making progress towards universal energy access, yet more than 30 % of rural communities remain disconnected from the grid.
OverviewElectricity productionElectricity sectorElectricity demand and supply gaps
Senegal''s major source of electricity is diesel. The rest is mostly coal and hydroelectricity. Renewables should make up 30% of the country''s energy mix and the wind farm in Taïba Ndiaye will supply half. The planned energy mix aims to help Senegal move away from oil dependence, although newly discovered gas reserves offshore are expected to be used domestically to replace diesel and coal.
The Commission de régulation du secteur électrique - CRSE (Senegalese Regulatory Commission of Electricity Sector) was created by Law of 14 April 1998 relating to the electricity sector.
