Electricity remains one of the fundamental factors that facilitates the economic growth and development of any nation. This thesis, Solving the Energy Challenges in Adado, Somalia is written to identify the cause(s) of unreliable and unaffordable electricity in Adado, a suburb in Somalia, and to suggest a functional solution to the problem that has been affecting individuals, firms and the environment of the Adado community. It is almost impossible to write about solving electricity problem in Adado without relating it to Somalia because solving the electricity problem in Somalia is tantamount to solving the electricity problem in Adado and other communities in Somalia.

The project is an on-going project of Solved- Cleantech Company. Professor Jaffar Jimale and Adado Electrical Company both based in Somalia provided all the needed information about the Adado community, and its electricity situation.Personnal research was also done to complement the provided information.

The first three chapters of the thesis focus on the present conditions (electricity players, grid, consumption etc.) of electricity in Somalia in general and identifies the main challenges of electricity in the country.

The fourth chapter of the thesis focuses on the electricity situation in Adado and highlights the challenges of electricity in the Community.

In conclusion, the thesis suggests that a system that can combine more than one type of renewable energy source would be ideal for the situation in Adado.
