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. Some of these energy sources are used directly while most are transformed into fuels or electricity for final consumption.
As shown in figure 2, the most strik-ing feature of Niger’s energy system is the dominance of biomass. This represents 79% of total consumption and meets 83% of household energy needs. Biomass in the form of fuelwood, charcoal and agricultural residues is used in inefficient cooking appli-ances.
Ultimately, the success of the country’s energy development mission will be judged by the quality of its results and scale of improvements in livelihoods. Renewable energy applications across Niger have been linked to excellent social development outcomes. The cost of renew-ables is at an all-time low, especially PV.
Despite this rich potential, access to energy is still a challenge for the authorities. Final energy consumption in Niger is estimated at 0.15 toe per capita, one of the lowest in the world. The weakness of this value is mainly due to limited access of Niger’s households to modern energy.
The energy sector in Niger contains a multitude of stakeholders, which include government bodies and parastatal organisations, NGOs and asso-ciations as well as the private sector. Some of these play multiple roles in policy, regulation, finance, knowledge generation and advocacy.
Niger’s energy profile is typical of a low-income economy in that the household sector remains the main energy user. This signifies a limited use of energy in the productive sector. Households across Niger rely heavily on traditional biomass to meet their basic energy needs.
The institutional arrangement of Niger electricity sector is depicted in figure 4. The Ministry of Energy and Petroleum is responsible for policy development and the Multisectoral Regulatory Authority is the independent regulator.
