( ~ equal that of Brazil & Russia’s)
• Combined consumer spending –
US$ 860 billion
• No. of African Companies with
revenues of ~ US$ 3 Billion – 20

AFRICA CURRENT CAPACITIES 1
Some Statistics
• Very low per capita
consumption ~ 140kWh
compared to ~1,200kWh
in developed.
• High average tariffs of
UScts ~15 per kWh,
mainly from temporary
thermal sources.
North Africa ~ 48GW (mainly Oil & Gas)
South Africa ~ 44GW (mainly Coal)
Sub-Sahara Africa ~ 31GW
(mainly Hydro)

Africa Current Installed Capacities (~ 123GW)
• Losses of about US$ 3b
per year through
operational
inefficiencies.
• Carbon emission levels
at a high of about ~315g
per kWh (Kenyan case).

Africa has the
potential to
generate >15,000
MW of energy
from geothermal
power . In
particular, Kenya
is the first African
country to exploit
geothermal
energy in a
significant way, by
involving both the
private and public
sector in its
development.

Much of Africa is
well exposed to
sunlight, but
photovoltaic
technology is
generally too
expensive. PV
panels are
making a
contribution in
more remote
areas where it
may well be
cheaper than
alternatives such
as diesel.

CLIMATE-RESILIENT ENERGY SYSTEMS: Energy Efficiency
Key Message
Source: http://www.iea.org; KenGen Analysis
1 Approximately 35% of all generated
power in Africa is lost through
transmission losses and use of
inefficient devices.
2 Improving energy efficiency has a
potential of reducing CO2e emissions
globally by 8.2 gigatonnes by 2030.
3 Improved efficiencies will reduce
investment required for new
capacity; reduce pollution and
increase competitiveness!

• Economies of scale -
larger power markets
provide a large
customer base reduces
the risk of investment
• Increased system
reliability and security
of supply
• A good generation
mix to mitigate the
effects of drought in the
power pools.
• Reduce dependency
on thermal generation
especially in Sub-
Saharan Africa

Fund(GEF) and Kenya Association of Manufacturers (KAM)
• Government of Kenya giving annual support of ~US$
250,000.
• Energy Management Awards sponsored by power sector
Companies started in 2004.
• Total cumulative savings calculated around ~US$ 50 million.
Estimated annual emission reductions of ~ 600,000 CO2e
• Total cumulative savings calculated around US$ 50 million.
• Potential estimated annual savings is in the region of US$
40million.

ACT now
• Government to commit more investment funds for
renewable energy(not less than ~ 3% of GDP
annually).
• Developing economies to increase concessional
funding to for renewable energy to approx. US$ 20
billion annually.
ACT together • Reform existing carbon markets in favour of Africa
to tap carbon sources of investment funds.
• Interconnect and operationalise power pools.
ACT differently
• Government to provide cost-reflective tariffs
• Regulators to be more proactive in driving
efficiencies in the sector and attracting ppps
