Ultimately, the success of the country’s energy development mission will be judged by the quality of its results and scale of improvements in livelihoods. Renewable energy applications across Niger have been linked to excellent social development outcomes. The cost of renew-ables is at an all-time low, especially PV.
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.
The energy sector in Niger is at a critical crossroads. The country has recently discovered oil and gas. This will contribute to widening energy access and allow the country to solve the enormous problem of household energy access through a liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) programme.
The Government of Niger views providing reliable electricity and other basic energy services to all populations and parts of the country as a critical aspect of its inclusive economic transformation plans. It also recognises decentralised renewable energy options as a cost-effective alternative to grid expansion in many rural areas.
Energy access in Niger remains a criti-cal barrier to the country’s development. Modest improvements have been experi-enced in recent years. However, electricity access in Niger remains low at about 24% and almost all the population relies on the unsustainable use of traditional biomass (MP/AT-DC, 2011).
This action could improve the Niger’s readiness to scale up its renewables deployment. It is designed to be taken in the short- to medium-term, largely through decisions made by the Government of Niger. There is wide acknowledgement among policy makers in Niger about the important role renewables can play in the development of the power sector.
