Mali’s population in 2013 was 16.59 million, as shown in Table 1 (World Bank, 2016). In 2015, total electricity produced was 225 ktoe, of which 58.2 per cent came from fossil fuels, 38.6 per cent from hydro and 2.6 per cent from biofuels and waste (Table 2). Final consumption of electricity in 2015 was 145 ktoe (AFREC, 2015).
The national electrification rate of Mali was 25.6 per cent in 2012 (Table 3 and Figure 4). In rural areas, this falls to 11.9 per cent while in urban areas it is 50.4 per cent (World Bank, 2015); (World Bank, 2016).
Mali has extensive biomass resources including forests which are under pressure to provide fuel wood to satisfy the domestic energy requirements of the growing population. Eighty per cent of national energy supply is provided by biomass and this contributes to the deforestation rate of 4,000 km2 every year (REEEP, 2012).
provides electricity services with the support of local private energy companies, the Rural Electrification and Domestic Energy Agency (AMADER) and the Rural Electrification Fund. On a regional level, Mali is a member of West African Power Pool. The legal framework is provided by the ECOWAS Protocol on Energy 2003, which Mali has ratified.
Mali’s hydropower potential is just over 1,000 MW mainly from the Niger and Senegal Rivers. So far, only 22 per cent of this potential has been exploited (REEEP, 2012). Existing power plants include the Sélingué on the Sankarani river, an ofshoot of River Niger, and the Manantali, Gouina and Félou plants on the Senegal River.
Under the auspices of the Organization for the Development of the Senegal River, the Manantali dam provides electricity for Mali, Senegal and Mauritania. There are also numerous sites suitable for small hydro plants (REEEP, 2012). power generation) to 7 m/s (REEEP, 2012).
