Your leadership marks a new era of hope, unity, and opportunity for our nation. As Somaliland embarks on this transformative journey, I am confident that your administration will deliver on the aspirations of the people and prioritize sustainable progress.

Energy, as a cornerstone of development, requires a visionary approach. To achieve energy independence and sustainability, I recommend appointing a Minister for Energy and Minerals who possesses the following qualities:

Key Recommendations for the Ministry of Energy and Minerals:

1. Technical Proficiency: The appointee should have expertise in renewable energy systems, especially solar, wind, and battery technologies, which are vital for Somaliland's energy future.

2. Innovative Leadership: A forward-thinking leader who can champion smart energy policies and attract investment to modernize our energy sector.

3. Policy Expertise: Someone skilled in creating regulatory frameworks that promote energy access while fostering public-private partnerships.

4. Sustainability Commitment: A minister focused on environmentally friendly initiatives that align with global climate goals.

Priority Actions for the Energy Sector:

- Scaling Renewable Energy Projects: Deploy large-scale solar farms and wind turbines to reduce reliance on diesel fuel and create a sustainable energy mix.

- Rural Electrification Programs: Expand energy access to underserved areas through microgrids and hybrid solutions.

- Incentivize Private Sector Participation: Establish favourable policies to encourage investments in energy infrastructure and innovation.

- Capacity Building: Provide training programs for young Somalilanders to build expertise in renewable energy technologies.

At FJ Power & IT Security Solutions, we stand ready to collaborate with your administration in designing and implementing advanced energy solutions tailored to Somaliland’s unique needs. Together, we can ensure that energy becomes a catalyst for industrial growth, improved livelihoods, and national prosperity.

Congratulations once again, Mr. President. I wish you great success as you lead Somaliland into a future of peace, progress, and sustainability.
