Benin adopts new electricity roadmap to 2045
Officials say the new electricity roadmap reflects a more realistic and data-driven approach to energy planning, aligning infrastructure development with Benin''s long-term growth ambitions.
View DetailsHowever, the government of Benin is making serious efforts to increase local production through national projects, specifically the Solar Energy Promotion Project (PROVES) and the Renewable Energy Development Program (PRODERE) . The principal RE sources in Benin are hydro energy, biomass energy, wind energy and solar energy.
This section provides information on Benin's current energy situation with energy demand-and-supply scenarios. According to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), 41% of Benin's population currently have access to electricity.
In Benin, the energy sector strategy is aimed at improving the energy independence of the country and diversifying its sources of supply through the implementation of various interconnection projects with neighbouring countries and the enhancement of the national RE potential.
To provide clean energy at a lower cost to their citizens, all nations of the world are striving to increase their energy production in an environmentally friendly way. Benin has also joined this dynamic by considerably increasing its green energy production efforts in recent years.
