Djibouti has 224 MW of utility-scale solar and wind capacity in operation across 14 tracked facilities, ranking #103 of 222 countries in this atlas.

Solar dominates: 74% of the operating capacity (165 MW) comes from solar parks, against 59 MW of wind.

The pipeline is substantial: 0 MW under construction and 10 GW in pre-construction or announced, equal to 4,478% of today’s operating fleet.

About 149 MW (67%) of the operating capacity started up in 2021 or later; the busiest year was 2023, with 61 MW commissioned.

The largest concentrations are in Djibouti City (60 MW), Arta (59 MW), Tadjoura (25 MW).
