Summary. This study evaluates hybrid renewable energy systems for rural electrification in Somalia. A configuration combining solar panels, wind turbines, diesel generators, and battery storage achieved the lowest costs ($96,899 net present cost, $0.090/kWh levelized cost) while meeting all electricity demand with 91.8% renewable penetration and 53% lower emissions than alternatives. The system proves technically and economically viable for powering remote communities without grid access.
