Overview
Mali’s energy sector is undergoing significant transformation, targeting universal electrification by 2040 through expanded renewables, hydropower, and regional interconnections. Despite political instability, ambitious plans—including solar, wind, and efficiency initiatives—aim to reduce reliance on thermal power while addressing infrastructure and financial challenges in the state-dominated market.
Get more details on the table of contents and data files, as well as the list of graphs and tables by browsing the tabs below.
Highlights
- The electrification rate is expected to reach 87% in 2030 (53% in 2023). Renewables including hydro should account for 37% of the power mix by 2030.
- Power generation is shared between state-owned EDM, SEMAF (multinational hydropower plants), rented power, IPPs, and autoproducers.
- Since 2010, the country's installed capacity has more than doubled.
- Oil product imports have tripled since 2010.
- Biomass accounts for 62% of the final energy mix, but its share has dropped by 21 pp since 2010. Oil product prices are regulated.
- The country is developing hydropower and solar projects, as well as interconnections to improve electricity supply
Energy & Climate Policy Framework
The Ministry of Energy and Water is responsible for energy policy, general organisation of the sector, the study and implementation of hydroelectric projects and regulation of the energy sector.
The Ministry of Economy and Finance supervises the National Office of Oil Products (ONAP).
Energy Companies
Electricity:
EDM owns and operates a capacity of 365 MW at end-2024.
Energy Supply & Demand
Resources:
Mali has no proven fossil fuel reserves and is entirely dependent on imports. The hydroelectric potential of the country is estimated at 1 150 MW.
Energy Use and Price by Sector
Energy Prices in Residential:
In 2022, the average electricity tariff reached XOF103/kWh (+3% compared to 2021, US$17c/kWh) and the average residential electricity tariff reached XOF112/kWh (+6%, US$18c/kWh), compared to an average generation cost of XOF168/kWh (+40%, US$28c/KWh) and a total cost, including transport and distribution, of XOF219/kWh (+39%, US$36c/kWh).
Issues & Prospects
Oil:
Petroma, a Malian operator, is exploring for natural hydrogen in Block 25, in the Koulikoro region, in Western Mali. The company operates a pilot project in Bourakébougou, producing electricity from natural hydrogen. In 2019, the company changed its name to Hydroma.
