Eritrea Mobile Energy Storage Project

You can find information on the renewable power capacity and generation in Eritrea on the homepage of IRENA.org. Climatescope 2019 lists the clean energy policies and investments for Eritrea.

The government of Eritrea has received a $49.92 million grant from the African Development Bank to fund a 30 MW photovoltaic plant in the town of Dekemhare, 40 km southeast of the capital Asmara. It will be the country's first large-scale solar plant.

We have also included new sources in this year's social media figures, so numbers shown here and in our Digital 2021 reports will not be comparable with numbers published in our previous reports The number of mobile connections in Eritrea in January 2021 was equivalent to 21.5% of the total population.

You can find information on energy production, total primary energy supply, electricity consumption, and CO2 emissions for Eritrea on the IEA homepage. For data on energy access (access to electricity, access to clean cooking, renewable energy, and energy efficiency) in Eritrea, visit the Tracking SDG7 homepage.

Eritrea aims to supply 20% of electric power demand through renewable energy sources by 2030. The African Development Bank funding will help the country in achieving this target.
