Senegal’s energy consumption is dominated by oil products and biomass. The electricity sub-sector, which accounts for only 10.4% of total energy consumption, far behind biomass 41.6% and oil products 39.2%, is remains dominated by thermal units. The objective of this study is to do an analysis of the electricity sub-sector. It shows a dependence on imports of oil and gas to meet our demand. Important policies have been developed to think about energy independence by exploiting our renewable energies potential, 5kWh / m² / day for solar, average wind speed estimated at 4m / s for wind. The liberalization of the energy market has allowed public and private investors to invest in this sector. The installed capacity has enabled Senegal to avoid the emission of 156.243 tons of CO2 per year with the six solar photovoltaic plants. Despite immense potential of renewable energies, their rate remains low in the power park and is estimated for (solar photovoltaic, wind and hydraulic) at 28 % in 2020.
