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...

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...

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 ...

As the region with some of the lowest electrification rates in the world, Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) will exhibit continued growth of power pools. This growth is likely to be driven primarily by expanding transmission and distribution (T&D) networks within and between member countries. This outlook provides an analysis of the power pools in SSA, foc...

During the past decade, policy tied to diversification into the non-oil economy has taken center stage as GCC and African oil and gas exporters prioritize expansion of the non-oil economies through their long-term vision plans. Despite challenging global economic conditions, several GCC and African countries are accelerating their pace of economic ...

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 research project focuses on the South African low voltage switchgear market. The switchgear products discussed include miniature circuit breakers (MCBs), molded case circuit breakers (MCCBs), air circuit breakers (ACBs), pushbutton switches (PBs), contactors and relays (C & Rs), intelligent overloads (IOs), electronic overloads (EOs), thermal o...

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...

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...
