Côte d'Ivoire Renewable in % Electricity Production
According to its updated NDC (2022), the country seeks to reach a 45% share of renewables in the electricity mix (25% in 2023).
There are currently no feed-in tariffs. The power purchase agreements are signed between the government and the promoter after a call for tenders or detailed feasibility studies under an MoU.

Côte d'Ivoire GHG emissions and CO2 emissions
In its updated NDC (2022), the GHG emission reduction target was raised from 28% to 30% in 2030 compared to a BAU scenario. The objective corresponds to a reduction of around 37 MtCO2eq in 2030 (compared to 9 MtCO2eq in the first NDC). Reduction efforts will focus on reforestation, phasing-out coal generation, and improving energy efficiency in buildings. With international support, the country could cut its GHG emissions in 2030 by 99% of the BAU scenario, almost reaching carbon neutrality. This unconditional objective would reduce GHG emissions by around 120 MtCO2eq.
