yall qurbojoog are so naive! i like your ambitions esp the relentless futurists sland dev ideas.
but lets be serious kulmiye gov cant even be bothered to pave roads let alone multimillion investments.
i live in hargeisa and let me tell u about private power companies, tgey dont care about who gets power, they dont have expertise on clean power sources or innovation. odayaasha shirkadahan haysta kama qasna.
and they are against competition and cheap power remember when gaafane brought cheapest ever electricity in hargeysa abd how the power conpanies ganged up on him to raise the rate!

sorry we don't believe you..you need more ppl

The city of Garowe, the capital of the state of Puntland, in the Northern part of Somalia, is also lit thanks to solar and wind energy. This small revolution was made possible by the construction of a hybrid energy plant realised by the Italian company Elvi and commissioned from the Italian and French group Electro Power Systems (EPS) that works to provide sustainable energy and create zero impact energy storage systems.

The plant, which is operational since 22 February 2016, produces 3.5 MW of energy and is expected to be further extended with 450kW of wind energy, covering more than 25% of the city’s energy need. Considered the stronghold of piracy, an issue threatens the Arabian Sea in the Gulf of Aden – the water route of tankers headed to the Mediterranean Sea – Garowe is in a crucial position between Northern and Southern Somalia. But although the state of Puntland has managed to maintain stability during the long Somali Civil War, the country finds it hard to make its economy recover. This is not just a matter of safety, even though along the road that connects Garowe to Bosaso – which is about 300 km long – there are at least thirty police blocks.

“Currently the price of energy is very high – says Ivo Sciuttini, the group’s International Business Development manager – about one dollar and a half for every Kwh. It’s apparent that with this price local enterprises can’t compete and access the market”.

Now, the hybrid plant helps reduce diesel consumption by more than 2,000 litres a day, providing the local population with clean energy and a more reliable system and helping it reduce their energy bill by 20%. The plant, which is fully remotely controlled, is mainly composed of solar panels, wind turbines, an energy storage system, backup generator and a medium voltage distribution system.
