This project in Somaliland is one of the first in the world to use the company’s patented Maximum Inverter Power Tracking (MIPT) technology to increase the share of solar power in microgrids. Hosted by BEC utility, Somaliland’s power grid supplying the city of Berbera is being monitored and controlled using microgrid technology.
Somaliland has one of the world’s highest energy prices punctuated with frequent and often long-lasting power cuts. So far, only limited investments have been made into the generation of clean energy, among them a solar mini grid in Berbera, funded by the Abu Dhabi Fund for Development.
Somaliland’s power grid supplying the city of Berbera, home to the largest port in the horn of Africa, is being monitored and controlled using microgrid technology. The microgrid consists of two solar plants with a total capacity of 8MW, a containerised lithium-ion power storage system with a capacity of 2MWh and three modern diesel generators.
Somaliland’s government acknowledges the lack of reliable energy provision as a major constraint to development. The government plans to ensure that all citizens have access to affordable energy from local and renewable sources by 2030. This goal is ambitious.
The government plans to ensure that all citizens have access to affordable energy from local and renewable sources by 2030. This goal is ambitious. Electricity across Somaliland is privatised and relies on fossil fuel, mainly diesel, which is imported from the Arabian peninsula. Energy is, therefore, costly and unsustainable.
Infrastructure development carries modernity’s promise of progress and development. But it relies on affordable and reliable energy. That is what is lacking for most of Somaliland’s residents. The electricity access rate is estimated at 15%.
