Somalia and its international peacekeeping missions face some of the highest energy costs in the world, with rates of energy access of less than 40% nationally, and only 11% in rural areas. Ongoing security and governance challenges in the country further complicate Somalia’s energy sector, which is among the most decentralized in the world.
“Access to energy is a precondition to development, supporting livelihoods and powering essential services such as education and healthcare,’ said UNDP Resident Representative in Somalia Jocelyn Mason. “However, 65% of people don’t have access to electricity in Somalia.
Total energy supply (TES) includes all the energy produced in or imported to a country, minus that which is exported or stored. It represents all the energy required to supply end users in the country.
Countries that rely heavily on imported energy may be vulnerable to supply disruption from external events such as the Covid-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine. In countries that export large amounts of energy, falling energy prices can also cause major economic shocks. Somalia did not import energy.
One of the most important types of transformation for the energy system is the refining of crude oil into oil products, such as the fuels that power automobiles, ships and planes. No data for Somalia for 2022. Another important form of transformation is the generation of electricity.
