Country General Information
Union of Comoros is made of four mains Islands originally volcano,situated in the Indian Ocean in the Channel of Mozambique, between
the east coast Africa and the North-west coast of Madagascar.
The four Islands are by order of greatest,- Grande- Comores- Anjouan- Mayotte- MoheliMap of Comoro Islands

Mayotte is under the French occupation and the Comorians needvisa to journey in Mayotte. Moheli the smallest Island countalmost 60000 Comorians, 8% of the population of Comoros.
In Comoros the woods and oil (petroleum) remain the big field
regarding to energy. The oil products are imported and most of it,
are used in the transport sector. The production of electricalenergy is generally assured by the diesel oil about 70% of theimported diesel oil. Moheli and Anjouan took advantage of small
hydraulic power plant: 3 in Anjouan and 1 in Moheli. The
installed power in Comoros is above 25MW and Moheli hold
4MW (8%) of it. Moheli is electrified at 84% and soon at 95%
after the installation of 6 micro solar power plant financing by EU(European Union). The network is old so that Losses and fraudof electrical energy represent 40% of the energy production.

Le circuit de distribution

The actual length of the network in Moheli
is 50Km for 20kv and 72Km for 400kv with
26 installed transformers. The company ofproduction of electricity in Comoros isn’t
able to regain 70% of its bill.

Current energy policy and measures
The regional office of the company ofelectricity production in Moheli follows theenergy policy established by the General
office in Grande-comore, such asdelivering an available, cheaper andsustainable electrical energy in order offighting against poverty and develops thesocioeconomic sector, use renewablesolar energy which is a national
inexhaustible resource, collect andanalyse the documents involving toelectrical energy in Comoros provided by
the BAD(African Bank for Development),
fighting vigorously against the smugglersof electrical energy

Past energy demand and supply(statistics)
The demand electrical energy still
increasing since 1980.In Mohéli, it
increases at 14% and soon at 18% by
the installation of six(06) micro solar
power plants . The network of Moheli
has been rehabilitated in 1981 by thefederal Republic of Germany and had alength of 8km and the peak was 450kw.
Today with 3700 costumers, the peak is
twice and the number of workers (150actually) has nearly quadrupled.

Outlook of energy demand andsupply
The monthly consummation is 98000 liters of diesel fuelthe production cost is 11428.71 U.S.A dollars and therecipe is nearly 71428.571 U.S.A dollars. In five years
the whole population of Mohéli will have access toelectrical energy with installed power above of 4MW.
The vice presidency in charge of the ministry of energyplans for 10 MW and autonomous of fuel security for 40
days. Thus the population of Mohéli will be assured
supplying of energy till 2035.For this we must:- Mobilize some fund to realize urgent maintenance-To forecast for heavy fuel power plant- To rehabilitate the hydraulic power plant- To have schematic guiding of the network

Major difficulties and bottlenecks
currently faced in formulatingenergy policies
Some reliable documents aren’t available
for us to have the accurate ordinates(precise) data involving:- biomass- geothermic- wind energy- industrial sector- energetic assessment

Subjects you would like to study
in the order of priority and thereason
The missing of energy policy
documents and the instability of theenergy become a big load for the
economic development of Comoros
while many natural resources of energy
exist.
