Senegal''s major source of electricity is diesel. The rest is mostly coal and hydroelectricity. Renewables should make up 30% of the country''s energy mix and the wind farm in Taïba Ndiaye will supply half. The planned energy mix aims to help Senegal move away from oil dependence, although newly discovered gas reserves offshore are expected to be used domestically to replace diesel and coal.
The project will enhance the reliability of the Senegalese electricity grid. In Dakar, it will give the strategic city-centre neighbourhoods three new sources of supply.
In July 2025, Senegal''s first LNG-to-power project began generating electricity offshore Dakar through a partnership between the country''s state-owned Senelec and Turkey''s Karpowership.
