The National Energy Pact of the Republic of Côte d’Ivoire, aligned with its National Development Plan 2021-2025 and Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) No. 7 of the United Nations, constitutes a roadmap aimed at guaranteeing access to affordable, reliable, inclusive, sustainable, and clean energy for the entire Ivorian population. It aims to accelerate access to electricity and clean cooking to 100% and 50%, respectively, by 2030 and to significantly increase electricity generation capacity from renewable sources (45% by 2030).
The private sector will play a key role in achieving these objectives, with the ambition of mobilising approximately US$2 billion in private investment in energy production, transmission, distribution, and decentralised renewable energy (DRE) and clean cooking solutions.
This plan details the reforms to be implemented around five main pillars: (i) Rehabilitating and expanding energy production, transmission, and distribution infrastructure at competitive costs; (ii) Leveraging the benefits of increased regional integration; (iii) Adopting DRE and clean cooking solutions for affordable last-mile access as essential elements of the energy access agenda; (iv) Encourage private sector participation to mobilize additional resources; and (v) Ensure the financial viability and improve the operational efficiency of the electricity sector. This approach will mobilise the resources necessary to guarantee reliable, affordable, inclusive, sustainable, and clean energy, while contributing to the economic growth and development of the country and the region.
