Overview
Senegal's renewable energy stood at 35.40% in 2021, a decline of +3.30% from 2020. Senegal ranked 67th globally.
Senegal's renewable energy sector has experienced fluctuations over the past three decades. At 35.40, the country's renewable energy coverage in 2021 ranked 67th globally, according to World Bank data. This represents a decline from the sector's peak in 1990, when it reached 55.50, and a trough in 2018, when coverage dropped to 34.20. Compared to its peers, Senegal's renewable energy sector lags behind Samoa, which ranked higher at 36.00 in 2021. A comparison with India, which also saw a 34.90 ranking in 2021, further highlights Senegal's relatively slow growth. This stagnation may be attributed to various factors, including limited investment in the sector and a reliance on traditional energy sources. However, with increasing global pressure to transition to renewable energy sources, Senegal may see a shift in its energy policy, potentially leading to increased investment and a rise in renewable energy coverage in the coming years.
