East Africa Power Market Analysis
The power market in the East Africa region is expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 3% in the forecast period of 2021-2026. The COVID-19 pandemic pandemic severely impacted on economies of African countries, because of their dependence economy of other countries, even though the impact of COVID-19 was less in the region than foreign nations. Factors such as increasing power demand due to the increasing population and the rapidly increasing share of renewable and gas-based thermal power plants are likely to drive the market. The degree of urbanization and electrification is also expected to drive power consumption. On the other hand, the lack of huge investments for setting up and modernizing power generation, transmission, or distribution networks is restraining the growth of the market.
- Hydro and Non-Hydro Renewables are expected to witness significant growth in the region, owing to factors like increasing investments in the sector combined with increasing focus on producing clean energy.
- The formation of organizations like East Africa Power Pool, which are focused on the development of power infrastructure in the region has helped the market grow in the past and are expected to continue to do so during the forecast period too.
- Ethiopia is expected to witness significant growth in terms of power generation capacity among the nations in the forecast period due to its significant consumption of electricity and government focus to decrease dependence on imported fossil fuel. The country is also expected to invest in renewable energy projects, which is likely to aid in the growth of the market.
