Somalia Free Solar-Powered Electricity Programme for Public Schools

under construction

Somalia has extended its free solar-powered electricity programme to 335 public schools across the country. The project delivers electricity generated from solar energy to government-run education institutions, supported by the World Bank. The facilities covered stretch from Saylac in the northwest to Dhobley in the south, with most installations completed and remaining connections expected to be finalized by mid-December. The initiative aims to reduce operational costs and support longer learning hours by providing stable and cost-free power supply. Somali National University is among the connected institutions, benefiting from continuous solar electricity with storage systems. The programme will later extend to Puntland and the North Eastern State.
