South Africa is arguably sub-Saharan Africa’s most developed economy and home to the region’s largest energy sector. However, the country’s chronic energy crisis, most evident from the frequent loadshedding, largely stems from the failure of the national power utility, Eskom, to provide reliable, constant power supply due to its ailing coal-powered...

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...

Tanzania, Kenya, Ethiopia, and Rwanda are key economies in the fast-growing East African region, which is emerging as a hotbed for energy-related investments. The expanding urban population, hydrocarbon discoveries, and the growing demand for modern energy forms, such as electricity and natural gas, will drive a socio-economic transformation wherei...

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...

South Africa is a middle-income, emerging market with abundant natural resources. Mining, mineral processing, and manufacturing are the main sectors driving industrial growth in the country. Globally, South Africa has one of the largest coal reserves; its use is limited to power generation and heating applications in industrial processes. The count...

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 ...

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 ...

Universal access to electricity has been central to the African development story, with power being critical to the continent's economic growth. As more than 600 million people (or 44% of the population) lack access to electricity, Africa is racing to add capacity to electrify rural communities and secure baseload supply in urban and industrial zon...

This study covers a 2010 overview of the Nigerian electricity industry, examining the market structure, drivers and restraints for growth and installed capacity. Following from these, market engineering measurements are analyzed and forecasted. In addition, an in-depth analysis of generation capacity including IPPs is performed, along with identifi...
