The IEA's Energy Policy Review of Senegal 2023, published today, finds that energy is at the heart of Senegal's 2035 strategy for accelerating sustainable development and economic growth known as the Plan Sénégal Émergent (PSE), or the Emerging Senegal Plan.
Recognizing that Senegal confirms its objective to develop and implement an ambitious energy strategy that will provide universal access to affordable electricity with quality and continuity of service, create new sustainable jobs and support the development of the economy on the basis of a diversified energy mix.
In its Energy Sector Development Policy Letter (LPDSE) 2024-2028, Senegal will integrate the commitments made under this agreement. By COP30, Senegal, in accordance with the Paris Agreement, will adopt a new NDC that will reflect the enhanced climate ambition of its new energy strategy.
The development of Senegal's oil and gas resources is expected to have a huge impact on the economy. The hydrocarbons industry will generate royalties from production and export, tax revenues to the government, and related energy services in industry, employment and mobility.
Under the law, Senegal requires 35 days of commercial stocks, which is not always respected by the companies. There is a strong interest by the sector to invest in additional oil storage sites (seven projects are underway). The MPE is undertaking a study to analyse the adequacy of storage capacity and port infrastructure investment.
In 2014, the government adopted the Plan for an Emerging Senegal (PSE), with the aim of achieving structural transformation of the domestic economy and reaching middle-income status by 2035. The PSE sees energy as a vital sector for the country, with enshrined access to reliable and affordable energy one of its goals.
