According to the report from ANSD published on 29 September 2026, on an annual basis, total gross electricity production recorded an increase of 25,7% compared to July 2025. This development is driven exclusively by the jump in purchases from other producers (+34,7%), with the internal production of SENELEC showing a slight decline (-1,9%).
