  ABSTRACT: This article highlights the important role of the law in ensuring energy security for all people. It discusses the issue of access to electricity in Madagascar. Access to electricity constitutes an important condition for a country’s economic and social development. Different sectors, such as industries, healthcare, educational institutions, and households, rely on energy to fulfil their tasks. Any interruptions in the energy supply may result in negative economic effects and engender life loss. Using fossil fuels results in higher electricity production costs and constitutes a non-sustainable practice. With the potential of renewable energy sources such as solar and hydraulic energy, Madagascar can ensure energy security for its population. Nonetheless, the transition towards the use of renewable energy requires a reinforced legal framework governing the energy sector.
