Onyx energy Djibouti
The peak annual demand in 2014 was about 90 MW but is expected that it will grow to about 300 MW by around 2020. Electricity supply services are provided through the vertically integrated utility Electricité de Djibouti (EDD). A small amount of additional energy is generated by a solar plant (300 kW capacity). Djibouti has wind and geothermal generation potential and is actively studying these options. [pdf]FAQS about Onyx energy Djibouti
How can Djibouti achieve its energy goals?
Djibouti’s substantial potential for geothermal electricity generation, along with its rising capacity to produce energy from wind and solar power plants, should help the country reach its goals in coming years. In addition to the growing need for generation capacity, the expansion of renewable energy is key for Djibouti to diversify its economy.
How does electricity supply work in Djibouti?
Electricity supply services are provided through the vertically integrated utility Electricité de Djibouti (EDD). A small amount of additional energy is generated by a solar plant (300 kW capacity).

How is Djibouti reducing its dependence on imported power?
Djibouti is also working to reduce its dependence on imported power by investing in domestic production and diversifying its energy mix. The government has ambitious plans to become the first country in Africa to fulfil 100% of its electricity demand from clean energy sources while also extending the power grid to reach 100% of the population.
Will Djibouti become the first African country to meet 100% electricity demand?
The authorities have announced plans to transform Djibouti into the first African country to fulfil 100% of its electricity demand from clean energy sources by the close of the plan in 2035. The Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources formulates policies for the sector and regulates the electricity market.
How much electricity does Djibouti produce in 2021?
Djibouti produced 654,062 MWh of electricity in 2021, according to figures from the Central Bank of Djibouti, representing a 4.3% increase relative to 2020. Improving domestic energy production will require the government to direct private investment towards electricity generation.
Is Djibouti a good place to invest in solar energy?
There is room for further growth in the space: the authorities expect up to 400 MW of geothermal electricity capacity to be operational by 2037, according to a 2017 World Bank report. Djibouti has significant solar energy potential, with an estimated average daily global horizontal irradiance of 4.5 to 7.3 KWh per sq metre across its territory.
