Madagascar has a very big energy potentiality which a big
part still remains to exploit.
The Petroleum :
Potential oilfields are in the course of evaluation .Big
companies (ExxonMobil) already settled down in the island to
investigate these deposits with offshore or onshore
techniques.

Call for
tender on the oil blocks: in May 23rd, 2006 in London, in

The Coal :
The deposits of coal in Madagascar are still unexploited (Document)
The hydro-electric power :
In Madagascar, 7,800 MW is potentially available, only 115
are exploited at the moment.
Demand of energy and
some hydraulic potential
Modalities for the
investors
The wind energy :
With a speed of wind superior to 8 m/s in the North, the
East and the Southeast of Madagascar, the wind energy
represents a big opportunity.
Opportunities for the wind energy
The solar energy :
Madagascar possesses an incidental energy of 2,000 kwh/m2/year
and a nearby average period of sunshine of 2,800 hours/year.
The West and the Southwest are particularly suitable for the
solar energy.

West and Southwest regions
Biofuels :
Madagascar introduces the new technologies of the production
of biofuel (biodiesel and éthanol). The NGO and private
companies dash into the plantation of jatropha for the
biodiesel and sugar cane for the production of éthanol. The
big surface and the climatic status make of this sector one
of the most promising. The NGO 'Green Island Association',
in collaboration with the Civil Service, makes praiseworthy
one effort for the first steps of the
plantation of
jatropha.
