The conflict destroyed public electricity infrastructure in Somalia, and electricity services are currently provided by private Electricity Service Providers (ESP). Electricity services are provided by a network of isolated diesel-powered mini grids. About 55 ESPs supply more than 90 percent of the power in the country.
The cost per kWh in Somalia stands at a weighted average of about US$0.61 per kWh, whereas in Somaliland at about US$0.68/KWh (Power Sector Master Plan - PSMP), 2018).
The World Bank’s flagship report on Regulatory Indicators for Sustainable Energy (RISE, 2020) found that Somalia ranks in the upper 5 percent globally for power cost, and in the upper 15 percent globally for power expenditure as a share of gross national income (GNI) per household. 10.
The total cost of the proposed project is estimated at US$ 150 million. The project will consist of the following four main components: Component 1 – Subtransmission and distribution network reconstruction, reinforcement, and operations efficiency in the major load centers of Mogadishu and Hargeisa.
International Development Association (IDA) Recovering from conflict, Somalia has been on a trajectory towards political stabilization and reconstruction. In 2012, a provisional constitution was adopted, establishing a new Federal Government and seat of government in the city of Mogadishu.
