However, the government of Benin is making serious efforts to increase local production through national projects, specifically the Solar Energy Promotion Project (PROVES) and the Renewable Energy Development Program (PRODERE) . The principal RE sources in Benin are hydro energy, biomass energy, wind energy and solar energy.
This section provides information on Benin's current energy situation with energy demand-and-supply scenarios. According to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), 41% of Benin's population currently have access to electricity.
In Benin, the energy sector strategy is aimed at improving the energy independence of the country and diversifying its sources of supply through the implementation of various interconnection projects with neighbouring countries and the enhancement of the national RE potential.
In 2019, in terms of the affordability of electricity for consumers, Benin obtained a score of 81 out of 100 compared with the average value, which is 77.25 out of 100 . The government of Benin plans to continue its efforts to make electricity accessible to the population and ensure energy self-sufficiency .
The country's electricity supply is provided through two main sources, namely national production and imports. The Electricity Community of Benin (CEB), which is a mixed society between Benin and Togo, is responsible for providing electrical power to Benin.
From 114 gigawatt hour (GWh) in 2010 to 1062.8 GWh in 2020, the energy output of self-producers and public power plants increased, with 810 GWh produced by public thermal power plants alone and 71.9 GWh by Benin's portion of Nagbeto's hydraulic production .
That''s the tangible promise of Benin''s energy storage project - a $200 million initiative positioning this West African nation as the region''s first mover in grid-scale battery technology.
