Renewable Energy Investments in Senegal:
Renewable energy investments in Senegal primarily focus on solar, wind, and biomass energy projects. The Senegalese government
3.2%. Attracted by the stable political environment, several notable local and international solar PV companies like Oolu Solar and Baobab+ operate in Senegal, using cash sales, pay-as-you-go (PAYGo), and partnerships with micro-finance institutions
Senegal's energy sector is increasingly reliant on solar power, making it essential to assess its long-term viability under changing climate conditions. This study evaluates future solar energy production in Senegal up to 2050, focusing on eight operational solar plants: Bokhol, Sakal, Malicounda, Kahone, Ten Merina, Mekhe, Ndiass, and Kael.
The country's nationally determined contributions outline two main goals relating to the energy transition: increasing the share of renewable energy in the national energy mix to 40 % by 2035 and increasing the use of natural gas to replace fossil fuel power plants (CDN Senegal, 2020).
Despite the higher resolution and detailed regional climate information provided by the CORDEX-CORE datasets, biases are noticed. These results suggest a bias correction to better estimate the future changes in solar energy production in Senegal. A bias correction is performed using the method described in Eq. 5 (Fig. 4b).
