Universal access to energy

Under the Senegal 2050 Vision and the National Development Strategy (SND) 2025-2029, the Government of Senegal is pursuing universal access to reliable, sustainable and affordable energy services. This ambition rests on a national priority: completing rural electrification.

The data presented reflect the baseline available at end-2024 and will be updated regularly as electrification projects progress.

Progress in recent years has raised the national electrification rate to 86.2% in 2024, against 69.84% in rural areas. The objective is now to complete universal access to electricity by 2029, concentrating efforts on areas that are still insufficiently covered.

This ambition rests on continued investment in rural electrification and on solutions tailored to the characteristics of the localities to be served. It aims to guarantee every citizen, wherever they live, fair, reliable, sustainable and affordable access to electricity, while helping to reduce territorial disparities and support socio-economic development.
