NEEDS FOR RENEWABLE ENERGY IN NIGER''S ELECTRICITY
Niger is one of the countries in the world with the lowest rate of electricity access. Solar PV is an appropriate technology to meet the future electricity supply. Standalone and mini-grids can be used to reach remote locations without incurring on substantial and sometimes uneconomical grid expansion projects.

6 FAQs about [Niger solar energy calculations]
How can Niger improve energy access?
Broadening energy access is a central national development objective in Niger. At present, less than 25% of the population enjoys access to electricity, and the picture in rural areas is bleaker, at less than 5% electricity access. Generation of electricity through renewables has long been viewed as an important way to close this gap.
What is the energy balance in Niger?
The energy balance in dominated by biomass, which represents 79% of total energy consumption and meets 83% of household energy needs, followed by petroleum products (18%) and mineral coal for electricity generation (3%). Renewables other than biomass remain negligible at less than 1%. The energy sector in Niger is at a critical crossroads.
How has solar technology been promoted in Niger?
Solar PV and other solar energy technologies continued to be promoted in Niger through various outlets, including the national school television programme. Solar technology installation also contin-ued, largely in PV pumping areas and through education and health infrastruc-ture electrification.
How can Niger balance its energy mix?
This transformative project, funded by the World Bank through the International Development Association (IDA), will enable Niger to better balance its energy mix, which is currently largely dominated by thermal energy. This initiative is particularly crucial for a country that frequently faces climatic shocks.
What percentage of Niger's energy supply is renewable?
Mineral coal for electricity generation accounts for the remaining balance at 3% of total energy supplies in Niger. The share of renewables as a proportion of TPES remains negligible at less than 1%, assuming that all biomass is non-renewable - which is not the case.
What is Niger's energy profile?
Niger’s energy profile is typical of a low-income economy in that the household sector remains the main energy user. This signifies a limited use of energy in the productive sector. Households across Niger rely heavily on traditional biomass to meet their basic energy needs.
