In Benin, the energy sector strategy is aimed at improving the energy independence of the country and diversifying its sources of supply through the implementation of various interconnection projects with neighbouring countries and the enhancement of the national RE potential.
However, the government of Benin is making serious efforts to increase local production through national projects, specifically the Solar Energy Promotion Project (PROVES) and the Renewable Energy Development Program (PRODERE) . The principal RE sources in Benin are hydro energy, biomass energy, wind energy and solar energy.
In 2019, in terms of the affordability of electricity for consumers, Benin obtained a score of 81 out of 100 compared with the average value, which is 77.25 out of 100 . The government of Benin plans to continue its efforts to make electricity accessible to the population and ensure energy self-sufficiency .
From 114 gigawatt hour (GWh) in 2010 to 1062.8 GWh in 2020, the energy output of self-producers and public power plants increased, with 810 GWh produced by public thermal power plants alone and 71.9 GWh by Benin's portion of Nagbeto's hydraulic production .
