Senegal has pledged over 998 billion CFA francs (about 1.7 billion USD) to achieve its goal of providing electricity to all citizens by 2029. This amount is more than double the 395.8 billion CFA francs estimated as the remaining need in the Strategy for the Completion of Universal Access to Electricity. The funding includes 181 billion CFA francs from technical and financial partners, and 817 billion CFA francs from the private sector. These commitments were announced at the second roundtable of partners aimed at accelerating universal access to electricity, attended by the ministers of Energy and Oil and Economy, Finance and Planning. Senegal first held a similar roundtable in 2021 to finance its earlier goal of universal access by 2025, with an estimated need of around 700 billion CFA francs. At that time, development partners had offered 237 billion CFA francs in funding, and private companies had proposed over 1,200 billion CFA francs. However, these proposals did not result in secured funding, and the 2025 target was not met. As of the end of 2024, 86.2% of Senegal's population had access to electricity, with only 69.8% coverage in rural areas. The new strategy identifies 6,471 localities that still lack funding and plans to expand the electrical network, install solar mini-grids, and distribute domestic solar units. Despite these efforts, achieving 100% access will not fully address all the challenges facing Senegal’s electricity system. Recent disruptions in the electricity supply have highlighted ongoing issues with connection, service reliability, and meeting the growing demand for power. These challenges indicate that while expanding access is a crucial step, ensuring a stable and sufficient electricity supply remains a complex task.
