About this plant

Boulaos is a 107.332 MW oil-fired power plant located in Djibouti. It is the only oil power plant in the country and has been operational since its commissioning. The facility contributes 100% to Djibouti’s total oil generation capacity.

Boulaos is the largest oil plant in Djibouti, representing 100% of the country’s oil capacity of 107 MW. Djibouti has only one oil plant, which is Boulaos, with no other facilities contributing to the oil sector. This plant is significant as it is the sole contributor to the country’s oil generation landscape.

Oil is the primary fuel source for electricity generation in Djibouti, playing a vital role in the energy mix. The reliance on oil is influenced by the country’s limited access to other energy resources. Boulaos is situated near the capital city, Djibouti City, approximately 10 km away.
