Strategic Expansion of the Electric Grid in Madagascar
Expanding the grid without sufficient production could exacerbate power outages, a paradox that raises questions about the viability of JIRAMA''s strategy. Between ambition and
Recognizing that large parts of the country may remain beyond the reach of the national grid, the gov-ernment of Madagascar is embracing the potential of- fered by off-grid solar technologies. Thus, the strat-egy targets, among other things, the deployment of mini-grids and the extension of off-grid solar energy.
Access to electricity is low, with around 36% of the total population having access to electricity (23% grid access). In rural areas, only 7% of the population has access to electricity. The Government of Madagascar has set a target of 70% access to electricity by 2030.

The country faces significant challenges in power access, with only 36% of the population having access to electricity.
Instead of a single synchronised national grid, Madagascar has three separate high-voltage grids: the Antananarivo Interconnected Network (which accounts for 70 per cent of electricity consumption), the Fianaratsoa Interconnected Grid and the Toamasina Interconnected Grid.
