Mali - Off-Grid Solar Energy with Barrel
Solar energy is a key resource in Mali, a country where only 53.4% of the population has access to electricity.
To expand energy access, Mali has implemented tax exemptions on solar products, encouraging the development of off-grid solar solutions.
Energy Sector & Electricity Rates
Mali has high electricity costs, making solar power a cost-effective and sustainable alternative:
• Residential electricity tariffs: Up to $0.239/kWh
• Commercial & industrial tariffs: Fixed at $0.810/kWh
Solar power currently accounts for 6% of the national energy mix, with a total generation of 165.6 GWh.
