Mali: Colonel Assimi GOITA turns to renewable energy in response to energy crisis
The persistent energy crisis in Mali is beginning to find lasting solutions thanks to the vigorous initiatives of the Transitional President, Colonel Assimi GOITA. Instead of resorting to temporary measures, President Colonel Assimi GOITA has launched several transformative projects, including the construction of large-capacity solar power plants, demonstrating his commitment to steer the country towards renewable energies.
These projects aim not only to meet the growing energy demand but also to ensure a more stable and environmentally friendly energy source. The focus on renewable energies is a crucial step in reducing Mali’s dependence on fossil fuels and strengthening the country’s energy resilience.
The effectiveness of energy projects relies on exemplary synergy between various ministerial departments, orchestrated by Prime Minister Dr. Choguel Kokala MAIGA. This close collaboration is essential to ensure the success of current and future initiatives. It enables the coordination of efforts, overcoming bureaucratic obstacles, and ensuring the efficient implementation of energy projects.
Coordination between ministries and relevant institutions also helps maximize the impact of energy projects. It facilitates the mobilization of necessary resources, strategic planning, and project management, thus ensuring equitable and sustainable access to energy for all Malians. The goal is to provide reliable, affordable, and sustainable energy supply, thereby fostering the country’s economic and social development.
Ongoing initiatives include the construction of several solar power plants, some of which are already in an advanced stage of development. Once operational, these plants are expected to significantly increase Mali’s energy production capacity, thereby reducing frequent shortages and power cuts. Moreover, the use of renewable energies will contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, aligning Mali with global goals in combating climate change.
