Senegal's energy industry is undergoing a rapid expansion, embracing fossil fuels and renewable energy sources, with a focus on economic growth and a just energy transition.

This month, Senegal announced it had struck oil at its first offshore project. This is just the latest of several new energy projects that the West African country is developing, with an energy mix that includes both fossil fuels and renewables. Following the recent expansion of its energy industry, Senegal is now catching the eyes of several international energy investors, particularly in China.

The partnership for a just energy transition JETP that we are establishing today with our partners will make it possible to support the Senegalese dynamic that we started several years ago of incorporating renewable energies into our energy mix and securing our energy system thanks to all our natural resources in line with the Paris Agreement.” This month, Australian firm Woodside Energy announced the start of production at Senegal’s first offshore oilfield. This follows several years of delay.
