Résumé anglais Sources and consumption of energy at Dakar. Dakar, which makes up 20 % of the population of Senegal, is the country's main centre of activity. As is the case for the whole country, the capital is subject to energy problems : the oil crisis threatens the choices concerning economic development and westernizing of the way of life while the consumption of wood mainly in the form of charcoal damages the environment which was already deeply affected by the drought which has lasted for about ten years. The use of new energy sources can only be introduced very slowly because of psychological obstacles and the pace of technological evolution.
