In June 2020, Somalia’s largest electricity provider, BECO, announced the opening of a new solar power plant in the capital city of Mogadishu. BECO is the only company that provides electricity for Mogadishu, Afgooye, Balad, Barawe, Kismayu, Marka, Jowhar and Elasha.
CHARACTERIZING RESOURCES AND LOADS IN MOGADISHU In order to build the daily load profile of Mogadishu city, this study analyzed the power production of the three private electric suppliers in the area: BECO, MPS, and Blue-Sky. These companies generate the electricity that powers the city, with each one operating independently.
One of the biggest electricity companies in Mogadishu, BECO, set up a solar plant to supplement and, in the long run, potentially replace diesel generators that individuals and businesses have been using for decades, the company said.

BECO, which provides electricity services to 280,000 customers in Mogadishu, set up its first solar plant in 2016. Solar power has helped reduce the price of electricity for BECO customers from $1.20 per kilowatt to just 36 cents per kilowatt. “Economically, the public benefited with cheaper electricity.
A surge in solar power Another source of energy gaining traction in Somalia is solar power. One of the biggest electricity companies in Mogadishu, BECO, set up a solar plant to supplement and, in the long run, potentially replace diesel generators that individuals and businesses have been using for decades, the company said.
Despite the widespread use of generators, Somalia has only 106 MW of power nationwide, according to the United States Agency on International Development. The World Bank reported in 2018 that 64% of Somalis didn’t have access to electricity.

There are a few major downsides to lithium-ion solar batteries. First, as a new technology made up of high-demand elements, they are relatively expensive. Second, if certain lithium-ion batteries are not properly installed, they pose a risk of catching fire through a process called thermal runaway. Finally, some Li-ion batteries contain nickel and cobalt, which in some …
