Senegal Power Compact - Increasing Access to Electricity in Rural and Peri-Urban Areas
Summary:
MCC’s $550 million Senegal Power Sector Compact (2021–2026) funded the $70 million Increasing Access to Electricity in Rural and Peri-Urban Areas Project, which aims to extend the electrical grid in selected areas in Senegal’s south and center regions. Through a blend of supply-side and demand-side interventions, this project aims to increase rates of adoption and consumption of electricity and improve opportunities for income-generating activities in these regions. The project also aims to improve the distribution network in several regions outside of Dakar to decrease technical losses and outages.
