Responsibility for our planet – climate and energy Electricity for rural people
Mobile solar panels are used to power small electrical items in areas where there is no access to electricity in Madagascar.
There is great hydropower potential on the eastern coast. There is strong and constant wind on the northern and southern tips of the island. And in the arid southern and western parts in particular, there is potential for large-scale solar power generation.
In view of this, Germany is providing advice to the Malagasy government with regard to its efforts for an energy transition that is hoped to reduce budget expenditure by an annual one billion euros by 2035 and to significantly increase the share of renewable energy.
