Key Issues on Power Demand Electricity demand in Africa is constrained by availability of supply. Total electricity demand in 2012, 605 TWh Source: Africa Energy Outlook, 2014 Demand in Sub Saharan Africa was 352 TWh in 2012, just 70% of the level of Korea, which has a population 5% of the size

Key Issues on Power Demand (Continued) Population without Access to Electricity

Key Issues on Power Supply Insufficient generation capacity - Grid-based power generation capacity in sub-Saharan Africa has increased from around 68 GW in 2000 to 90 GW in 2012, with South Africa alone accounting for about half of the total (WEO, 2014) Poor reliability many firms operate their own diesel generators at two to three times the cost with attendant environmental costs Source: Africa Energy Outlook, 2014

Key Issues on Power Supply (Continued) Transmission and distribution losses estimated at 19% (SADC), 21 to 25% (ECOWAS), well above global average (8%) Source: SADC RE and EE Status Report, 2015

Key Issues on Power Supply (Continued) Power Generation: Power plants in sub-Saharan Africa consists largely of technologies with the lowest efficiencies, often favored due to their lower upfront capital costs. Average efficiency of the fleet of gas-fired power plants was 38% in 2012, due to the predominance of open-cycle gas turbines (instead of higher efficiency combined-cycle gas turbines) Average efficiency of gas-fired power plants in India (46%) Unused fuel could have generated 8 TWh (21%) more electricity (WEO 2014).

Response to the key Issues Energy Efficiency as an essential tool to meet the continent energy supply challenge Dissemination of CFLs (Replacement of incandescent bulbs with CFLs) Energy saving awareness Promotion of energy efficient households appliances (ACs and Refrigerators) through MEPS and energy labeling programs Solar water heating Energy audits Power factor correction Promotion of efficient cooking stoves In spite of these efforts, numerous challenges persist

Energy Efficiency Possibilities on the Demand Side – Biomass Cooking Stove Biomass cooking stoves use biomass (wood, agricultural residuals etc.) to produce heat for cooking Three-stone fire is very common in most (not only inefficient but also pollute the indoor air affecting the health of the householders) According to the WHO, up to 1.5 million people die each year as a result of indoor air pollution Source: Improving the traditional three stone stoves will not only save energy, time, and money but also reduce indoor air pollution

What is blocking application of and investments in Energy Efficiency in Africa? Energy ‐ efficiency potentials are not being realised, even when they are economically cost ‐ effective. Numerous barriers impede their adoption and rapid market diffusion Lack of information on energy efficiency among consumers and the financial sector, leading to cost-effective energy-efficiency measures opportunities being missed Limited know how of policy makers Lack of technical capacity to develop and implement energy efficiency projects Subsidised energy prices Organizational and institutional gaps and overlaps Limited access to capital may prevent energy-efficiency measures from being implemented Inertia: individuals who are opponents to change within an organisation may result in overlooking energy-efficiency measures that are cost-effective Policy interventions are required to overcome such barriers

Options to Remove Barriers to Energy Efficiency Removing barriers to energy efficiency require different measures Minimum energy performance standards (MESP) and labeling Awareness-raising efforts Economic incentives Energy efficiency programmes and capacity building Energy service companies Energy Management systems Evaluation and impacts assessment are important

Conclusion More measures need to be adopted and implemented to improve energy efficiency on the continent A large part of the potential is untapped as most countries relay on old and inefficient technologies (often acquired second-hand) The residential, service and industry sectors use more than 80% of the energy in African countries, making these sectors an obvious focus to implement measures to improve efficiency on the demand side Energy efficiency measures are also needed in the transmission and distribution system due to high technical and non-technical losses therein.
