The African Infrastructure Tracker: South Africa's infrastructure sectors research service analyses the various infrastructure sectors in South Africa. This study includes an in-depth study of South African Social infrastructure, specifically investigating the Housing and Healthcare infrastructure sub-sectors. Within each of these sections, Frost &...

South Africa is the southernmost country in the African continent, with a coastline of 2,954 km stretching along the South Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean in the south. It is a member of the Southern African Customs Union (SACU), the Southern African Development Community (SADC), and the Tripartite Free Trade Area (TFTA). This connectivity has ...

The research service titled Financing Energy Projects in Africa  Extensive Requirements to Unlock Infrastructure Expansion contemplates the extensive financing that is required to fund required power infrastructure projects in Africa. Numerous challenges exist in relation to infrastructure investment on the continent, which can be overcome through...

Electricity demand in Egypt has been growing steadily over the years underpinned by sustained population growth, continuing urbanisation, and improving socio-economic developments. Yet the pace at which new power supply came on stream has been lagging behind (peak) demand growth. Some relief occurred from 2010 onwards thanks to newly-built power ge...

The electricity markets of Kenya and Tanzania are power scarce, with low electricity access and per capita consumption levels. Electricity demand here is set to increase significantly, driven by the economic upturn and increasing urbanisation. Kenya and Tanzania are focusing on utilising their natural gas and geothermal energy resources to meet the...

West Africa is an energy-rich region with abundant oil, gas, and hydro resources. The lack of energy infrastructure, gas supply issues, and non-cost-reflective tariffs restrict reliable electricity supply which is very important for the growing economies. Complications in the West African gas pipeline (WAGP) and rampant gas flaring has led to great...

The South African electricity crisis is characterised by a significant unbalance between power demand and supply. This is partly the result of underinvestment in transmission and distribution infrastructure. This development has translated into total energy losses estimated at 8.0% in 2008. As a result, power and distribution transformers are seen ...

Renewable energy has taken centre stage in South Africa's expanding power generation capacity, necessitating development and maintenance of requisite transmission infrastructure. Switch gears, transformers, and reactors are critical in supplying quality power to customers in a cost-effective manner. Local research and development, manufacturing, an...

The access to electricity in Africa is well below the global average, presenting a significant opportunity for the development of the energy supply industry, largely in the form of private sector investments in electricity generation. Many African governments are under immense pressure to improve the quality and reliability of electricity supplied ...
