The Department of Energy in the Ministry of Energy and Water Resources in Somalia plays a crucial role in the development, regulation, and management of the energy sector in the country. This department is responsible for overseeing the various aspects of the energy industry, both renewable and non-renewable, with a focus on ensuring access to reliable and sustainable energy sources for the Somali population.
The Federal Government of Somalia, Ministry of energy and water resources has the mandate to oversee the Somalia Energy sector, sets policies, strategic frameworks, approve tariffs for the electricity services and build the technical capacity of electricity service providers in Somalia in consultation with stakeholders through open and transparent processes.
The required generation capacity for increased demand is forecasted to increase in the range of 1,000 to 4,600 Megawatts by 2037. Investments in the sub-transmission network in the major load centers are also required to strengthen the current distribution networks. An estimated 3 billion Dollars would be needed throughout the supply chain in the next two decades.
Investments in Clean energy Cookstoves. Investments in independent power production, which can then be sold to the government for redistribution or to the private sector. Power distribution infrastructures in terms of physical equipment, technology, and logistics. Investments in power transmission equipment. Renewable Energy investments in areas such as Wind power, Solar & Geothermal.
The daily solar radiation horizontally is 6 Kilowatt an hour meter square a day, while the annual wind speed is over 8 meter per second in most regions. Shortages of technical staff, the small scale of existing generation, and lack of off transmission infrastructure and associated regulations further limit the immediate large-scale development of renewables for power generation in most of Somalia.
