The electricity sector has been liberalized since 1999, promoting free competition for production and installing a regulator. The national electricity access rate is 15% and only 5,21% in rural areas. Support from the international community strengthens the sector's dynamics and secures investments.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Many sectors, such as tourism, agriculture, agribusiness, and telecoms, are looking to the sector's development to boost their growth. For businesses, power outages are a source of additional costs, with outages forcing economic operators to resort to generators. Furthermore, Madagascar's energy costs, one of the most expensive in Africa, are damaging its competitiveness as an investment destination. Unstable and expensive energy remains a barrier to investment. However, Madagascar has considerable renewable energy potential (hydroelectric, solar, wind) that has not yet been sufficiently exploited. Under the General State Policy (PGE) and the National Plan for the Emergence of Madagascar (PEM), the plan is to achieve an electrification rate of 50% by 2023 and 70% by 2030.<\/p>\n

\"\"Access for all to reliable, sustainable, and affordable energy services is a prominent feature of the seventeen objectives set out in the 2015 New Energy Policy (NEP), which established the framework and objectives for the deployment of renewable energy. Since 2017, the new Electricity Code has brought about a simplification of procedures and the strengthening of market liberalization, particularly in the areas of transmission and distribution.<\/p>\n

By developing its hydroelectricity, Madagascar is reducing its dependence on fossil fuels, the cost of importing which weighs significantly on the country's economy and the financial viability of JIRAMA, the national water and electricity company.<\/p>\n

Through the Ministry of Energy, the Rural Electrification Development Agency (ADER) implements the electricity subsector policy in rural areas. ADER develops projects based on indicative master plans in the 22 regions. It promotes economically viable, competitive, and more efficient alternative energy sources to serve households and production units while developing the public-private partnership system by mobilizing all the financial resources necessary to finance investments.<\/p>\n

STRENGTHENING AND INTERCONNECTION OF NETWORKS <\/b>The Project for the Interconnection and Strengthening of Electric Power Transmission Networks in Madagascar (PRIRTEM) plans to electrify localities in order to achieve the national electrification rate of 70% by 2030.
The PRIRTEM aims to interconnect the three major electricity networks: Antananarivo, Toamasina, and Fianarantsoa. The AfDB is financing phase 1 (PRIRTEM-1) with EUR 32.5 million, the objective of which is to strengthen and interconnect the two interconnected networks of Antananarivo and Toamasina and to electrify localities and rural areas along the RN 2. The project, estimated at EUR 203 million, is also co-financed by the EU, the EIB, KOXEIM (Kanu Overseas Exim), and the Malagasy government. Its implementation is expected to last 48 months.
The 267km 220kV power line between Antananarivo and Toamasina will cross three regions. With a capacity of 120MW and the electrification of rural communities along the high-voltage line corridor, it will improve the reliability of electricity supply while facilitating the development of large-scale hydroelectric projects.\u00a0<\/p>\n
