ENERGY & POWER SUPPLY
International Energy Agency (IEA) has forecast a 4% annual growth in energy demand for Africa and international initiatives are backing national ambitious strategies to develop the power sector in Africa.
By 2040, Africa will consume as much electricity as India and Latin America combined did in 2010.
620 million people live without the benefit of an electricity connection and most industries do lack sufficient and efficient energy supply.
Gaz, Hydro, Solar, and regional integration of power pools of renewable power generation are game changers to shape the African energy landscape over the next 25 years.
Energy is a key priority of European Union development aid policy ; together with the IAE and African Development Bank a significant emphasis is placed on energy development aid programs together with regional grids connection, power transmission, grid rehabilitation/extension.
Going forward, according to the IEA, China ( Export-Import Bank of China, ICBC, CCB,…) will continue to be a global leader in overseas investments, and keep leading the world in renewable energy development, clean energy projects and grid investments.
Key trends are privatization of energy sector and development of independent power producers encouraged by several donors.
