List of power stations in Ivory Coast

This is a list of power stations in Ivory Coast. The majority of electricity generation (about 72.5%) in Ivory Coast is by power stations that burn natural gas; the remaining 27.5% of the country's generation is hydroelectricity. As of 2016, installed electric generation capacity totalled 1,975 megawatts (MW).[1] Electric generation exceeded the country's needs; 5.31 billion kilowatt hours (kWh) of electricity was generated in 2005, of which the country consumed only 2.9 billion kWh. Export of electricity is through the West African Power Pool.[2]
