Analysis
Somalia recorded 0.09 terawatt-hours for electricity generation from low-carbon sources in 2024. That is the highest value across all 25 years on record.
Compared with earlier readings it is up 12.5% on the previous year and up 350.0% over five years.
Over the whole period, electricity generation from low-carbon sources in Somalia peaked at 0.09 terawatt-hours in 2024 and was at its lowest, 0 terawatt-hours, in 2000.
That places Somalia 163rd out of 209 countries with data for 2024, putting it in the bottom quarter.
The series is highly variable year to year, so single readings are best treated with caution.
