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...

The electricity supply industry in Morocco, Egypt, and Algeria is heavily reliant on fossil fuels. Economic development and rapid urbanisation in the region have created a market where electricity demand has been growing at an average 6-8%. Thus, the governments of these countries have begun to implement strategies for the development of wind and s...

This analysis delves into the current energy sector in Mozambique. It profiles both the current and future energy supply and demand. It also provides an overview of the country's energy mix, power generation, transmission and distribution infrastructure, the primary energy sector participants, the policies in place, tariff structures, the natural r...

Tanzania is one of the most rapidly growing economies in Sub-Saharan Africa, mainly driven by agriculture, banking, industry, construction, services, energy, mining, and Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sectors. It is an active member of the East African Community (EAC), the Southern African Development Community (SADC), and the Open ...

A central database where information relating to South Africa's power supply and demand can be analysed does not exist. Every time an investor, an academic, or private or public organisation needs information on this, the research has to start from the beginning. This study considers a set of assumptions and models the power supply and demand in So...

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...

This snapshot analyzes the market for small-scale distributed generation (DG) from renewable sources in Brazil, which took off after the approval of net metering resolutions 482/2012 and 687/2015 by Brazil’s regulatory agency, ANEEL. Renewable DG technology scope includes grid-tied solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, wind energy, biomass up to 5 MW ...

Brazil is one of the largest potential markets in the world for smart meters. Power distribution companies in the country are developing small- and large-scale pilot projects related to smart grids, most of which are supported by ANEEL’s research and development resources. Yet despite the long-standing goal of nationwide deployment, Brazil’s sm...

Africa is home to 15% of the world’s population. The electrification and water accessibility rates in the continent are not very promising. The region’s peak demand is about 74,000 MW but the current generation capacity is just 50% of it. Water scarcity and drought are taking a toll on both the power and water supply market. The problem is bein...
