TABLE OF CONTENTS


INTRODUCTION

• Africa is endowed with vast energy resources but our people are still very poor.

• Access rate to electricity very low especially in the sub-Saharan Africa

• African countries individually face scarcity of resources

• There is need to pool resources for the benefit of our people

• The emergence of regional power pools is a step in the right direction.

Africa’s Natural Resources-1

• Africa endowed with vast natural power generation resources.

• Central and Eastern Africa have vast hydro resources.

• West and North Africa-natural gas.

• Geothermal energy resources in the African Rift.


HYDRO POTENTIAL IN EASTERN AFRICA-1

1.Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)

• DRC has a total hydro potential of 100,000 MW of which:-

-56,000 MW are at different sites spread all over the country and

-44,000 MW are concentrated at the Inga Site.


Hydro Power Potential in E.A-2


Hydro Power Potential in E.A-3



2. Ethiopia

• Ethiopia has a hydro potential of 30,000 MW equivalent to annual energy production of 650 TWh.

Currently,

• 670 MW has been developed.

• 1,200 MW is under construction.

• 1,900 MW is committed.

• 2,300 MW is ready for financing and

• 5,145 MW is under feasibility study.


3. Uganda

• Uganda has a hydro potential of 2,750 MW out of which:-

- 380 MW has been developed and

- another250MW (Bujagalihydro project) is under

construction.




4. Kenya

• Kenya’s installed hydro capacity is 736MW.

• An additional capacity of 70MW is currently under construction at various sites.

• There is an unexploited potential of 1,680 MW.


5. Tanzania

•Tanzania has an effective installed hydro capacity of 555 MW.

•There is an unexploited hydro potential of 2,040MW.




6. Sudan

• Sudan has a feasible hydro potential of 5,000MW.

• The installed capacity is 338 MW and

• 1,250 MW are under construction.


GEOTHERMAL RESOURCES IN EASTERN AFRICA-8

• There is a huge potential of geothermal energy along the Eastern Africa Rift Valley.

• However, only Kenya has carried out significant exploration work.

• Kenya’s geothermal potential estimated at over 4,000MW.

• Currently only 130 MW has been exploited.

• Additional 70MW under construction.


HARNESSING THE NATURAL RESOURCES

• The most effective way to harness these vast resources to the benefit of the people of Africa is by:-

- regional interconnections of the electricity grid and

- regional developments of the electricity generation resources.

• The formation of the Eastern Africa Power Pool was driven by the need to exploit these resources and regional interconnection.


THE EASTERN AFRICA POWER POOL (EAPP)

• The Power Pool is a framework of power exchanges between utilities in the Eastern Africa region in order to:-

- secure their respective power supply;

- provide mutual assistance in the power sector and

-reduce power supply costs based on an integrated master plan approach and pre-established rules.


OBJECTIVES OF EAPP-1

The main objectives of the EAPP were stated as:-

-Optimize the usage of energy resources available by working out regional investment schemes in Power Generation; Transmission and Distribution areas taking into account the environmental effects.

-Increase the power supply in the region.

-increase the access rate to electricity.


OBJECTIVES OF EAPP-2

• Reduce electricity production cost in the Region, using Power Systems Interconnection and increasing power exchanges between the countries.

• Provide an efficient co-ordination between various initiatives taken in the fields of power production and transmission as well as exchanges in the Region.

• Facilitate the development of competitive electricity market in EAPP Region


EAPP COUNTRIES

1. The Republic of Burundi.

2. The Republic of Rwanda.

3. The Republic of Sudan.

4. The Republic of Uganda.

5. The Republic of Kenya.

6. The United Republic of Tanzania

7. The Democratic Republic of Congo.

8. The Arab Republic of Egypt.

• Existence of other parallel organizations-Nile Basin Initiative.


PROPOSED INTERCONNECTIONS-1

A number of transmission power lines in the Eastern Africa Region have been identified and are at various stages.

1. Inga Falls -Sudan-Egypt Line

• Northern Highway- From the proposed Inga Dam to Egypt.

• 5,300 km of 800 kV DC line to deliver 4,000 -10,000MW of power.


NORTHERN HIGHWAY



2.Arusha-Nairobi 330 /400kV Interconnector

• 260 km transmission line linking Tanzania and Kenya. Financing being sought. Commissioning Date -2012

3. The Kenya-Ethiopia Interconnector

• 1200 km of 400kV DC transmission line from Gibe III to Nairobi. Commissioning Date-2012

6.Lessos-Tororo–Bujagali 220kV line to strengthen the Kenya-Uganda link. Commissioning Date-2012

7.103 km of Burundi-Ruanda Interconnector. Commissioning Date-2012.

8.A total of 341km of 11kV lines for strengthening the interconnection between Burundi, DRC and Rwanda.

Commissioning Date-2012


YEAR 2012-1

• By year 2012:

-Tanzania-Kenya interconnector will be commissioned

-Kenya-Ethiopia interconnector will be commissioned

-Ethiopia-Sudan Interconnector will be commissioned

-Sudan-Equatorial Lakes interconnector will be commissioned


YEAR 2012-2

• Kenya-Uganda Interconnector will be strengthened

• Tanzania-Zambia interconnector will be commissioned

As a result, the Eastern Africa Power Pool will become fully operational


CONCLUSION

• The coming into full operations of the EAPP in year 2012 will speed up the exploitation of the vast natural resources resident in the region.

• Political goodwill among Governments of member countries is essential.

• EAPP should lead other institutions in the efforts of harmonizing the exploitation of resources and power trade.

• Avoid duplication of efforts. It wastes resources which are very scarce.
