Prix de l’électricité : sans subvention, une baisse «est presque impossible»
If the energy subsidy is cut, as has been whispered in recent days, it will be almost impossible to pay less for energy without strong, lasting measures. This is the opinion of former Petrosen CEO Amadou Diallo. "Lowering [electricity and fuel] prices cannot be decreed," he asserted in an interview published this Wednesday, March 19, in L'Observateur. "It is the result of strategies to be implemented and of a political will that is based on a holistic vision of the energy sector."
The energy pricing consultant continued: "If we continue to generate electricity with BTS (Low Sulphur) or HTS (High Sulphur) fuel oil, I wonder, with Senelec's charges, how we can lower prices without subsidies. It's almost impossible."
In Amadou Diallo's opinion, the option advocated by Prime Minister Ousmane Sonko for lowering prices is viable. But under certain conditions: "The Prime Minister announced, as one of the expected results of the renegotiation of oil and gas contracts, the increase to 150 mmcf of gas for domestic consumption. This approach could lead to a reduction in the price of electricity by implementing the 'Gas to Power' strategy, which consists of producing electricity from gas. 150 mmcf is the equivalent of 1 gigawatt or 1,000 megawatts out of a current production of 1.8 gigawatts."
The expert added: "By combining hydroelectricity, solar and wind power from Taïba Ndiaye, we can really consider removing the subsidy and lowering the price of electricity."

Si subvention veut dire vous mettez des taxes démesurées sur les hydrocarbures (60% de taxes) et vous faites vos calculs sur cette base eh ben oui on peut parler de subventions.
DIMINUEZ VOS SURTAXES ET ARRETEZ DE PARLER DE SUBVENTIONS QUI N'EXISTE QUE DANS VOS TÊTES.
Combien nous coûtent les agents de la Senelec?
