However, these are of small-scale capacity due to inadequate financing and limited technical capacity to design and synchronize the systems. Based on field data collected in 2017, the cost per kWh in Somalia, excluding Somaliland, ranges from US$0.25–US$1.30 per kWh, with a weighted average of about US$0.61 per kWh.
Finally, the Somalia Power Master Plan (2019) presents a roadmap for the investments in the energy over a 20-year planning period to meet the country’s growing demand, and investments in clean and renewable energy are expected to play a key role. 12.
The experts provided by the BSSF will work as advisors paired to the ESP counterparts for a period of two to three years. The BSSF will support and guide the day-to-day sector undertakings over a medium term to reestablish the Somali electricity sector covering both policy, oversight, operations and management.
First, the electricity supply industry in Somalia is dominated by private players with poor safety records. Second, the government does not own generation assets and has small leverage and low capacity to oversee the Environmental risks of the project.
