Sustainable energy through developing renewable and
other new energy sources is one of the areas of
activities of the 2011-2030 Strategic Development Plan
of the Republic of Côte d’Ivoire. 8 The private sector
should play an important role through investments. An
assessment of national renewable energy potential is
also planned. Furthermore, an increase in production
capacities, both thermal and hydropower, is planned to
match increasing electricity demand.
Barriers to small hydropower development
With the support of UNIDO and ECOWAS Centre for
Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (ECREEE), Côte
d'Ivoire plans to concentrate on the following activities
to remove barriers preventing small hydropower
development in the country: 10
Update old small hydropower studies.
Establish a regulatory framework for the purchase
of electricity.
Adapt regulations on the use of waterways to avoid
conflict between agriculture, fishing and electricity
consumption.
Provide training session for mapping.
