6 FAQs about [Madagascar energy storage ratio]
How much electricity does Madagascar have?
In Madagascar, only 15% of the population has access to electricity. In 2017, the country had just 570 MW of mainly thermal (60%) and hydroelectric (40%) installed production capacity. Furthermore, only 60% of this energy is truly available owing to poor maintenance of power plants.
Why does Madagascar have a low rate of electricity?
Only less than 1% of this demand is supplied by other renewable energy sources. This high share of wood energy is explained by its accessibility and its low cost for the population. Madagascar has a low rate electricity access due to its high price and the insufficient quantity production. The national rate of electrification is only 4.7% only.

Why does Madagascar have a high share of wood energy?
This high share of wood energy is explained by its accessibility and its low cost for the population. Madagascar has a low rate electricity access due to its high price and the insufficient quantity production. The national rate of electrification is only 4.7% only. In urban zones, such as Antananarivo, this value could reach up.
Does Madagascar have a high solar energy potential?
Due to its location, Madagascar has a high solar energy potential. As shown in Fig. 5, the Global horizontal irradiation is 2000 kWh/m 2. Almost all regions have more than 2800 h (350 sunny days) of annual solar radiation. In the west coast, solar radiation ranges from 4000 to 6500 kWh/m 2, .
Does Madagascar have a potential for energy from biofuels?
There is potential for energy from biofuels using agricultural waste from the sugar sector. Jatropha is also being cultivated for its oil which is used variously in the biofuels industry. Only 1.9 per cent of Madagascar’s hydroelectric power potential has currently been used (REEEP, 2012).
