Abstract: The aim of this research is to review the status and current trends about energy resources production potential and new energy policies in Madagascar to suggest possible solutions to help the government in its sustainable policy development. The results of this investigation showed that, nowadays in Madagascar, more than 80% of natural potential is remaining not exploited. What is more, in order to satisfy the demand of energy, the country will need to use up to 12,000 MW of its hydroelectric potential and 10% of its solar potential that can be easily reached with a good energy policy. In this sense, an operating of only 20% of solar, hydraulic and wind power resources, in Madagascar, can cover the energy needs of all five Indian Ocean countries on several years and, in particular, solar potential resulted significant in coastal zone of Madagascar.
