Earlier Report Observations

The wood fuel market in Comoros experienced consistent growth from 2018 to 2023, with volume rising from 322.5 thousand m³ to 357.6 thousand m³. This trend was driven by persistent energy crises that increased reliance on wood fuel for household and commercial energy needs, particularly where electricity supply remained unreliable.

Government actions to address the energy crisis, including urgent measures in 2018 to secure funding for diesel generators and negotiate loans for a heavy fuel power plant, underscored the fragility of the grid. Continued investment in energy infrastructure through 2022 did not swiftly displace wood fuel demand, as projects developed gradually, supporting market expansion throughout the period.
