Côte d'Ivoire Renewable in % Electricity Production
According to its updated NDC (2022), the country seeks to reach a 45% share of renewables in the electricity mix (24% in 2022, all from hydro).
There are currently no feed-in tariffs. The power purchase agreements are signed between the government and the promoter after a call for tenders or detailed feasibility studies under an MoU.

Côte d'Ivoire CO2 Fuel Combustion/CO2 Emissions
In its updated NDC (2022), the GHG emission reduction target was raised from 28% to 30% in 2030 compared to a BAU scenario. The objective corresponds to a reduction of around 37 MtCO2eq in 2030 (compared to 9 MtCO2eq in the first NDC). Reduction efforts will focus on reforestation, phasing-out coal generation, and improving energy efficiency in buildings. With international support, the country could cut its GHG emissions in 2030 by 99% of the BAU scenario, almost reaching carbon neutrality. This unconditional objective would reduce GHG emissions by around 120 MtCO2eq.
