This action could improve the Niger's readiness to scale up its renewables deployment. It is designed to be taken in the short- to medium-term, largely through decisions made by the Government of Niger. There is wide acknowledgement among policy makers in Niger about the important role renewables can play in the development of the power sector.
Broadening energy access is a central national development objective in Niger. At present, less than 25% of the population enjoys access to electricity, and the picture in rural areas is bleaker, at less than 5% electricity access. Generation of electricity through renewables has long been viewed as an important way to close this gap.
Like in most countries in the region, the energy sector in Niger is characterised by parallel energy systems, the traditional and the modernised. Both face intrinsic chal-lenges, which cross all sectors and affect the whole population. Current biomass use in Niger has major health implications, especially for women.
