Records by technology

Counts records, not generation share · coverage & dates

Reported capacity is the rated size of the listed installations, not electricity being produced now. Source dates and coverage differ, so newer facilities may be absent and historical records may remain.

How electricity works in the Comoros

Vertically integrated utilityOne utility does everything

Diesel generation on each island, with new solar plants.

  1. GenerationState utility
  2. TransmissionState utility
  3. DistributionState utility
  4. CustomersGovernment-set tariffs

Who regulates

No separate independent regulator is listed: the government or the utility itself sets tariffs and technical rules.

Who controls the grid

State company SONELEC runs the island grids.

Markets & power exchanges

No power exchange: the utility produces or buys electricity and sells it at set tariffs.

Regional grid

Not part of a larger synchronous grid or regional power pool.

What does “Vertically integrated utility” mean?

A single, usually state-owned utility generates, transmits and distributes electricity. Prices are set or approved by the government or a regulator rather than by a market.
