Why is energy a problem in Somalia?
Somalia faces significant food insecurity, further worsened by the loss of perishable goods. Over 95% of energy installations in Somalia use hydrocarbons, hindering the adoption of sustainable, renewable cold storage solutions. Energy can cost as much as $1/Kwh
Why does Somalia need a cold & freezing storage facility?
The agricultural sector suffers from up to 40% post-harvest losses, affecting productivity and contributing to high food prices. SOMCOOL is revolutionizing the storage and preservation of perishable goods in Somalia with our innovative off-grid, solar-powered cold and freezing storage facilities.
Why is energy so expensive in Somalia?
Over 95% of energy installations in Somalia use hydrocarbons, hindering the adoption of sustainable, renewable cold storage solutions. Energy can cost as much as $1/Kwh The agricultural sector suffers from up to 40% post-harvest losses, affecting productivity and contributing to high food prices.
How much electricity does Somalia have?
Somalia’s energy story is at a juncture: it has an installed capacity of approximately 400 megawatts (MW), with 300 MW powered by diesel and 100 MW by solar and wind. Today, about 80% of urban households and only around 24% of rural communities have access to electricity, according to World Bank data.
Should Somalia invest in solar & wind?
This is not just a statistical correlation; it is a clear indication that investing in solar, wind and other renewables could fundamentally place Somalia on the path of increased energy access and green transition. By contrast, other forces are pushing in the wrong direction.
Why should I switch to solar energy in Somalia?
Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity, which can be used immediately or stored in batteries for later use. Our systems are designed to withstand Somalia's hot climate and perform efficiently even on cloudy days. What are the benefits of switching to solar energy for my home or business?
