The transition to renewable and sustainable energy sources is critical solving the environmental socioeconomic problems associated with use of fossil fuels. This study uses an interdisciplinary approach analyze challenges prospects a in contexts recent discovery exploitation resources. We case Senegal from 2000 2027 role discoveries natural gas its transition. In 2000, Senegal’s mix consisted about 97% only 3% energy. Since then, country has developed sources, including solar, hydro, wind power, which currently account for 30% total mix. At same time, population electricity production have grown significantly, leading fivefold increase per capita consumption over past two decades. Projections based on long short-term memory model that predicts future demand balance suggest structural shift mix, gas, oil, renewables at 47%, 32%, 21%, respectively, by 2027. Overall, this presents comprehensive analysis highlights benefits strategically using as source increased continued development sources.
