Somalia's Ministry of Energy and Water Resources has launched a significant tender for a large-scale hybrid solar and battery energy storage project in northeastern Somalia. The initiative, part of the Somali Electricity Sector Recovery Project, seeks to expand the nation's renewable energy. . Somalia's energy story is at a juncture: it has an installed capacity of approximately 400 megawatts (MW), with 300 MW powered by diesel and 100 MW by solar and wind. Today, about 80% of urban households and only around 24% of rural communities have access to electricity, according to World Bank. . Pictured is a solar power plant of Beco, the largest electricity supplier in Somalia. (Photo Credit: Beco) The Ministry of Energy and Water Resources in Somalia has invited eligible bidders to build a hybrid 55 MW AC. . So how did a war-torn nation with limited government functionality achieve such success? After Somalia's civil war left businesses with a public sector that struggled to meet their energy needs, the private sector did what it does best—it innovated.
