The pan-African generator sets market size achieved a value US$2.6 billion in 2023 and is set to register over 10.4% CAGR during 2024 to 2032 - this is attributed to the increasing demand for uninterrupted power supply in industries like mining, manufacturing facilities & construction sites, report two analysts - Ankit Gupta, Shubham Chaudhary - of Global Market Insights. According to another economrics investigator - Allied Market Researchthe generator sets segment in Africa continues to evolve in response to changing energy needs, technological innovations, and environmental considerations, driving growth and diversification in the industry.
Both developed and developing countries face challenges related to power reliability and continuity. This could be due to aging infrastructure, natural disasters, or increased energy demands. Generator sets provide a dependable backup or primary power source, ensuring uninterrupted operations in critical sectors such as healthcare, telecoms, and data centres.
AMR suggests that the Africa generator sets market continues to be highly fragmented, with several key players including Kohler Co., Wartsila, Cummins Inc., Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd., Caterpillar Inc., Jubaili Bros, Allgen Power, Gensol, TWSSA Power, and Generator King.
The segment analysis of Africa in terms of value during the forecast period 2022-2032 is covered in the Africa generator sets market report.
“
IN AFRICA, GENERATOR SETS ARE INDISPENSABLE IN THE FACE OF ENERGY ACCESS CHALLENGES IN SOME AREAS.”
A spokesman comments: “In the Africa generator sets market growth is influenced by multiple factors. The increase in the need for reliable and continuous power sources in both developed and developing countries has created a demand for robust power generation systems. Besides, generator sets offer a scalable and customisable energy solution.
“These systems can be configured to meet specific power requirements, from small portable generators to large industrial gensets capable of powering entire facilities. Their adaptability makes them suitable for a wide range of applications, from residential and commercial use to industrial and construction purposes.”
One significant concern is the environmental impact associated with some gensets, particularly those running on diesel fuel. Emissions from diesel-powered generators contribute to air pollution and climate change.
Addressing this challenge requires a shift toward cleaner and more sustainable fuels or the adoption of advanced emission control technologies. In addition, the maintenance and operation of generator sets require technical expertise, which can be a challenge in Africa.

AZITO THERMAL POWER PLANT MAKES COTE D’IVOIRE AN ENERGY EXPORTER ACROSS AFRICA
Built in 1998, the Azito Thermal Power Plant generates two thirds of the energy produced in Côte d’Ivoire.
With its help the country has managed to develop the third largest electricity generation system on the continent and recently became one of the leading electricity exporters in West Africa.
Boasting an installed power capacity of almost 2,230 megawatts (MW), Côte d’Ivoire fully meets its domestic demand and exports the roughly 10% generation surplus to the subregion.
Whereas only 34% of Ivorians had access to electricity back in 2013 when
the post-electoral crisis triggered a 40% decline, close to 94% of Ivorians are now connected to the grid and the most destitute customers benefit from a subsidised rate.
“It all began in 1993, when the then government decided to open up the energy market to the private sector to avoid a recurrence of the major load-shedding crisis of 1984,” explains Gérard Bile Tanoé, Secretary General of CI-Energies, Côte d’Ivoire’s public operator.
Two international consortiums decided to take a chance and invest.
The first constructed the CIPREL power plant which began generating electricity in 1995.

The faciulity has a Plant Capacity of 30,000 cubic metres per day (expandable to 60,000 cubic metres per day).
Located in El Salam City, Sharm El Sheikh, the plant is vital in ensuring water security for the region. A spokesman for the facility commented: “The choice of Kohler gensets was based on their proven reliability and efficiency, crucial for meeting the growing power demands of this expanding desalination plant. With the ability to share loads in parallel, these units guarantee a continuous power supply, essential for uninterrupted water production even in challenging conditions.
“By enhancing power reliability, we enhance the operational efficiency and sustainability of the desalination process. This project supports local water supply requirements and aligns with global initiatives for environmental responsibility.”
In 2020 Fluence won the contract to install a new energy recovery system at the site to improve the plant’s efficiency. The plant now uses state-of-the-art equipment osmosis plant,” says the New York State-based company. The soon-to-be-launched works will be
RAISED $99M OF DEBT FINANCING FOR MOZAMBIQUE WIND FARMS
IN BRIEF
ENERGY SALE IN MOROCCO SHIFTS CONTROL
Veolia Environnement’s sale of a majority interest in Casablanca’s water and electricity provider to a new state-owned regional utility is part of a wider shift towards public ownership of the sector in Morocco.
In accordance with the commitments made to the Moroccan competition authorities, Veolia has reached an agreement with the Moroccan authorities for the sale to Société Régionale Multiservices Casablanca-Settat of its entire stake in Lydec, acquired during the takeover of Suez in 2022.
The UK/Norway-owned IPP Globeleq has raised $99m of debt financing for Mozambique’s first wind project, adding to its southern African portfolio. Despite industry pessimism over the prospects for utility-scale projects, Globeleq is advancing a large pipeline of greenfield renewable and gas capacity in eastern and southern Africa and is bullish over the future of utility-scale projects.
A spokesman commented: “Globeleq and its partner, Source Energia, are in the final stages of developing Mozambique’s first utility-scale wind farm project. Namaacha is a 120MW wind project located on 855 hectares close to the town of Namaacha in southern Mozambique, approximately 50 kms west of Maputo.”
The project will connect to the Boane substation through two separate 66kV lines,and will include upgrades to the substation. Namaacha is aligned to the Mozambican government’s target of univer sal energy access by 2030, as well as the country’s ambitious energy transition plans.
The southern African nation of more than 33 million people is mostly reliant on a single hydroelectric dam for its power generation. The UK government’s development-finance arm, has a growing presence in Mozambique. It is currently building a 450-megawatt gasfired power plant in Inhambane province and has constructed two solar plants with a joint capacity of 60 megawatts. Gas supply will come from the PSA concession at the Pande-Temane Inhassoro fields operated by Sasol Petroleum Mozambique Limitada. Globeleq is also a lead developer along with its partners EDM, Sasol Africa Limited and eleQtra. CTT will receive funding of up to US$200 million from the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) and up to US$50 million from the OPEC Fund for International Development (OPEC Fund) as a part of this project.

EGYPT HAS PLANS TO EXTEND THE USE OF RENEWABLES & HYDROGEN
Egypt wants to accelerate the provision of renewable energy that could ease electricity shortages and supply green power to Europe, but faces challenges in funding updates to its grid and unlocking investments for new wind and solar plants. The government has been promoting Egypt’s potential in wind and solar power as well as green hydrogen at a two-day Egypt-EU investment conference held in Cairoearlier this month, hoping to secure financing and benefit from Europe’s efforts to diversify and decarbonise its energy supplies.
“I think this industry represents the future for both sides,” Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly told the conference, adding that Egypt should manufacture renewable components such as solar panels, wind turbines and electrolysers.
Electricity Minister Mohamed Shaker said Egypt was reviewing its clean energy targets and would aim for a 58% share of renewables in power generation by 2040.
He said that since 2014, Egypt had spent more than 116 billion Egyptian pounds ($2.42 billion at current exchange rates) on upgrading its transmission network, as it looked to expand into renewables. Egypt mainly depends on three major sources for its energyrelated activities: oil, natural gas, and hydroelectric power generated from the large dam projects over the Nile. The majority of Egypt’s electricity supply is generated from thermal and hydropower stations. As of 2021, the total primary energy production in Egypt amounted to roughly 4.17 quadrillion British thermal units. Natural gas was the source with the highest share, with 61.63 percent of the total energy production. Petroleum and other liquids came next with roughly 33.33 percent.
US$5 BILLION PRICE TAG FOR WORK & INVESTMENT NEEDED TO REPAIR LIBYA’S
Current production is estimated at 5,000 MW, while the power deficit stands at almost 2,500 MW per day, causing most Libyans to rely on private generators. As a result, foreign direct investment is needed in the sector to repair and replace damaged facilities, with the total value of contracts for power projects estimated at five billion dollars.
Libya’s power generation capacity has increased significantly, reaching 8,200 megawatts (MW) in 2023, up from less than 6,000 MW in previous years. By summer 2024, the capacity is projected to reach 8,700 MW, ensuring a reliable power supply even during peak demand periods. This increase has been crucial in meeting the growing electricity demand and preventing the frequent blackouts that once plagued the nation.
GECOL has also focused on integrating renewable energy sources and improving grid management. The development of an app providing real-time information on scheduled power cuts and ways to reduce electricity demand has empowered consumers and improved grid stability. Additionally, GECOL’s extensive fiber optic network has been leveraged for telecommunications, generating additional revenue and reducing dependency on government subsidies.
However, even before the civil war began, Libya’s power and water infrastructure was struggling to meet demand. As of 2021, Libya is recognized as the seventh-largest crude oil producer in OPEC and ranks third in total petroleum liquids production in Africa. The country holds 3% of the world’s proven oil reserves and 39% of Africa’s, marking it as a key player in the global energy sector. Despite its abundant resources, the energy industry in Libya has faced significant challenges due to political instability following the civil war that began in 2011. These challenges have led to frequent power & oil production issues.
IN BRIEF
LACKLUSTRE POWER GENERATION IN SUDAN
Sudan is one of Africa’s developing countries whichhas major energy issues. Its energy sources primarily comprise petroleum oil (37%), electricity (9.3%), biofuels/ wastes (53.3%), and other renewable energy (RE) sources (less than 0.5%).
. Moreover, Sudan’s energy consumption is expected to reach over 545 PJ by 2030, where diesel and gasoline will account for over 70% of energy consumption for transport and thermal electricity generation, says a new reportby Herriot Watt University [pure.hw.ac.uk.]. Consequently, CO2 emissions are expected to reach over 24 million tons of CO2 equivalent by 2030, a 6-fold increase from the year 2000 levels. Sudan is among the countries most vulnerable to the adverse effects of climate change, particularly floods and droughts.
In 2011 Sudan lost three-quarters of its oil production when it split from South Sudan.. As a result, the constantly increasing energy gap is covered by importation from the international markett. the country’s economy and energy situation are worse after South Sudan’s referendum, raising questions about alternatives. One of the most heavily affected sectors is electricity, Sudan’s electricity demand has increased from 29.72 TWh in 2021 to 46.14 TWh in 2031 due to the increasing industry sector demands.

SA EMBRACES DECARBONISATION
South Africa’s new energy minister vowed this month to accelerate the shift to renewable energy from coal, breaking with a predecessor who opposed swift decarbonision and pledged to keeping burning coal for a long time.
Kgosientsho Ramokgopa, celebrated the fact that it has been more than 100 days with no power cuts - a record over years of crippling blackouts.
Owing to its reliance on coal-fired power stations run by state provider Eskom, South Africa is among the world’s top 15 greenhouse gas emitters - pushing out more than Britain, Turkey or France - and has the highest carbon intensity among the Group of 20 largest economies, according to watchdog Climate Transparency.
NIGER IS COMMITTED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF TWO PHOTOVOLTAIC SOLAR POWER PLANTS
Savannah Energy is currently working with the government of Niger on the development of two photovoltaic solar power plants with combined generation capacity of up to 200 megawatts.
The two plants will be based near the southern cities of Maradi and Zinder, with connection to Niger’s electricity grid. The aim is for power generation to begin in 2025-26 and to connect to the grid zone which serve the capital, Niamey, by 2026.
The plants will generate affordable energy, increase grid-connected power generation by more than 20% and avoid an estimated 260,000 tonnes of annual carbon emissions.
Niger’s electricity company (Nigelec) remains committed to the development of a 30-megawatt photovoltaic plant to compensate for major shortages since Nigeria stopped supplying electricity to Niger in response to the July 2023 coup.
The Solar Projects will be linked to the South-Central area of Niger’s electricity grid, with plans to interconnect it with the Western grid zone, serving Niamey, by 2026 through a project funded by the World Bank. Once the necessary feasibility studies are completed the Solar Projects are anticipated to receive project approval in 2024, with the first power generation targeted between 2025 and 2026. Savannah plans to finance the initiative through a combination of its own generated cashflows and project-specific debt.
Savannah Energy already has a presence in Niger, with an agreement for the construction and operation of the country’s first wind farm, as well as deal for an Early Production Scheme utilising crude oil resources in the Agadem Rift Basin, Southeast of Niger.
A spokesman said: “These developments not only underscore Savannah Energy’s active role in Niger but also exemplify their dedication to driving diversified and sustainable energy solutions in the region.”
THE GRAND ETHIOPIAN RENAISSANCE DAM IS CURRENTLY 83% COMPLETE
Ethiopia primarily generates electricity through hydropower, with a small share from wind and bioenergy. Its Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (Gerd), currently 83.9% complete, is Africa’s largest hydroelectric project and is expected to generate over 5,000 megawatts of electricity, doubling the nation’s electricity output when fully operational.
In 2014 Ethiopia had – according to a CIA report – an annual electricity production of 9.5 TWh and was regarded as have a 101st position worldwide as a power generator. This is all about to change.
The total installed capacity in 2014 was ~2,4 GWe. By July 2017, the country had a total installed capacity of ~4.3 GWe and an annual electricity production of 12.5 TWh as things improved.
In 2017, hydropower had the largest share nationally with 89.5% of the installed capacity and with 93,4% of the annual electricity production.
The Gerd dam is in the Benishangul-Gumuz Region of Ethiopia, about 14 km (9 miles) east of the border with Sudan. Today the dam’s primary purpose is electricity production to relieve Ethiopia’s acute energy shortage and to export electricity to neighbouring countries. With a planned installed capacity of 5.15 gigawatts, when completed, the dam is going to be the largest hydroelectric power plant in Africa and among the 20 largest in the world.
TWO NEW POWERPLANTS COME ONLINE IN NAMIBIA
In Namibia, the stateowned company NamPower is operating two new two solar photovoltaic (PV) power plants with a capacity of 20 MWp each.
The first solar power plant has been built on a 16hectare site in Omburu, a town near the city of Omaruru.
The solar power plant features 33,000 solar panels and 100 inverters. The panels are mounted on 67 singleaxis trackers which follow the movement of the sun from east to west.
This equipment enables the solar power plant to supply 20 MWp. This is the same amount of energy required by 20,000 Namibian households via the NamPower grid.
The construction of the new photovoltaic solar power plant in Omburu required an investment of $500 million Namibian dollars (more than US$32.6 million).
The.second 20 MWp solar photovoltaic plant was developed by IPP Access Aussenkehr Solar One Namibia. It is located near the Khan substation, about 45 km west of the town of Usakos in Namibia.
The installations are the first in a series of six solar photovoltaic plants which will be developed in this southern African country by NamPower. These installations will supply 220 MWp of electricity to the national grid, bringing Namibia’s production to 751 MW by 2023.

Backup generators ensure that hotels can operate smoothly even during power outages. These generators are designed to provide a reliable source of electricity, powering essential systems and equipment.
Here are some of the hotel systems which backup generators like these commonly support:
*Emergency Lighting: During a power outage, hotels need a backup power source for emergency lighting. This ensures the safety and well-being of guests and staff, allowing them to navigate the hotel corridors and exits safely.
* Elevators: Elevators are another critical component in hotels that require a continuous power supply. Guests rely on elevators to access their rooms, amenities, and other areas of the hotel. In a power outage, backup generators ensure that elevators can still operate, allowing guests to move freely within the hotel and preventing any inconvenience or discomfort.
* Hot Water: Hot water is an essential amenity in hotels, providing guests with the comfort they expect during their stay. Backup generators ensure that hot water systems function even during power outages. This guarantees guests can still enjoy warm showers and maintain their daily routines without disruption.
* Heating and AC: Heating and air conditioning systems are vital for creating a comfortable environment for guests throughout the year.
Backup generators enable heating and AC systems to operate, regulating the temperature in guest rooms, common areas, and conference rooms.
The location of a hotel can also play a role in determining the need for backup power. Hotels in areas prone to natural disasters, such as hurricanes or earthquakes, may face a higher risk of power outages. Hotels in remote areas with limited access to reliable power grids may also need backup generators to ensure a consistent power supply. Assessing these location-specific risks is crucial for hotels to make informed decisions about their backup power needs.

NIGERIA’S POWER EXPANSION WILL ADD 765MW OF CAPACITY TO THE NATIONAL GRID
In In June 2024 Nigeria’s foremost power generation solutions provider, Geregu Power Plc, announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Siemens Energy to jointly develop solutions for capacity expansion at the Geregu 1 power plant. The deal aims to triple Geregu’s total capacity from 435 to 1,200 megawatts (MW).
The aim is to ensure sustainable, resilient, and efficient power generation while safeguarding the longevity of assets, all aimed at supporting the growth and sustainability of the Nigeria Electricity Supply Industry (NESI).
The Geregu I Power Plant is based in Ajaokuta, Kogi State, Nigeria. It currently has a capacity of at least 435 megawatts and multiple units, some of which are not currently operating. The plant was constructed by the Federal Government of Nigeria and commissioned into service in 2007 to generate electric power and supply the National Grid2. There are also plans for a twinreactor nuclear power plant in Geregu, Kogi State.
Geregu Power Plc and Siemens Energy recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding to jointly develop solutions for capacity expansion at the Geregu plant towards ensuring sustainable, resilient and efficient power generation. The initiative is to safeguard the longevity of assets aimed at supporting the growth and sustainability of the Nigeria Electricity Supply Industry (NESI).
The plan is to upgrade the Geregu 1 Power plant from its current capacity to 500MW, establishing combined cycle operations to generate an additional 200MW, and building new facilities using lower emission turbines with an added capacity of 500MW to create Geregu 3.
The initiative aims to increase power output, improve efficiency, reduce emissions, enhance flexibility, prolong equipment lifespan, and maximise shareholder value through increased earnings for Geregu Power PLC, bringing its overall nameplate capacity to 1200MW. Geregu Power Plc, founded in 2006, first began supplying electricity to Nigeria’s national grid in 2007. Its 435-megawatt (MW) capacity power plant is key to the nation’s energy needs.
In 2013, a consortium led by Femi Otedola’s Amperion Power Distribution Company Limited acquired Geregu Power. The consortium included Calvados Global Services Limited and State Grid Shanghai Municipal Electric Power Company, the world’s largest utility.
Under Otedola’s leadership, Amperion invested $94 million in a 2014 plant overhaul, boosting capacity from 414MW to 435MW and achieving full utilisation. Otedola’s firm progressively increased its stake in Geregu, reaching full ownership in 2021. Geregu Power became the first electricity generation company to list on the Nigerian Exchange in October 2022.
Nigeria`s power system is suffering from an imbalance between power generation and consumption.
Despite more than 13,000 megawatts of power generation capacity in the country, only an average of 3,400 MW reaches consumers.
The inadequate power supply results in regular blackouts and has stunted the Nigeria`s economic development. In this latest deal, Siemens/Gergeu will be removing severe bottlenecks within the transmission and distribution grid to allow free flow of electricity.
Against this background, the Federal Government of Nigeria and Siemens have defined the Nigeria Electrification Roadmap. The
Roadmap is structured in three phases. Phase 1 is focusing on essential and quick-win measures to increase the system`s end-to-end operational capacity to 7,000 MW. Phase 2 is targeting remaining network bottlenecks to enable full use of existing generation and distribution capacities, bringing the systems operational capacity to 11,000 MW.
Phase 3 is developing the system up to 25,000 MW in the long-term. This includes upgrades and expansions in both generation, transmission and distribution.
Siemens Gas and Power (GP) is a global pacesetter in energy, helping customers to meet the evolving demands of today’s industries and societies. GP comprises broad competencies across the entire energy value chain and offers a uniquely comprehensive portfolio for utilities, independent power producers, transmission system operators and the oil and gas industry.

ANGOLA POWER DEAL HAS BEEN AGREED FOR A 2,000MW HIGH VOLTAGE TRANSMISSION LINE
Tafigura and engineering company Promarks have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the government of Angola to develop a regional power transmission and supply project, the commodities trading company has announced.
The project under consideration is a 2,000 megawatt high-voltage electricity transmission line to take power produced by hydroelectric dams in the north of Angola to the DRC copper belt and Zambia, integrating with the Southern Africa Power Pool, Trafigura said.
The signing ceremony was held in Luanda in the presence of government representatives from Angola, alongside other diplomatic guests and representatives from the private sector.
The MOU was witnessed by His Excellency João Batista Borges, Minister of Energy and Water for Angola and signed by Rui Gourgel and Mauro Martins, Chairman and Board Member, respectively, of Rede Nacional de Transportes (RNT), Elísio Augusto, Executive Director for ProMarks and Julien Rolland, Head of Strategic Project and Investments for Trafigura and Board Member of the Lobito Atlantic Railway.
A spokesman comments: “ The project under consideration is to build and operate a 2,000 MW high-voltage electricity “interconnector” - an HVDC transmission linen- to take surplus green electricity produced by hydro-electric dams located in the north of Angola to the DRC Copperbelt and Zambia, integrating with the Southern Africa Power Pool (SAPP).”
“
THE PLAN IS TO TO BUILD AND OPERATE A 2,000 MW HIGHVOLTAGE ELECTRICITY
INTERCONNECTOR - AN HVDC TRANSMISSION LINE- TO TAKE SURPLUS GREEN ELECTRICITY PRODUCED BY HYDRO-ELECTRIC DAMS LOCATED IN THE NORTH OF ANGOLA TO THE DRC COPPERBELT AND ZAMBIA.”
The renewable electricity would be purchased from Angola’s National Electricity Transmission Network, with the energy sold to customers such as global mining companies in the Copperbelt and throughout countries in the SADC.
The Minister of Energy and Water for Angola emphasised the importance of this project for the regional integration of Southern Africa and for the economic and social development of the countries involved.
“Angola, fortunately, has a surplus of energy that it can make available to SADC countries, namely Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
“The private promoters of the project will ensure its materialisation and enable this interconnection, so that together we can contribute unequivocally to the creation of wealth and growth of our economies, through the commercialization of clean energy.
“Furthermore, in this way we will be providing a cheaper and non-polluting source of energy, reducing emissions into the atmosphere and defending the sustainability of the planet,” said João Baptista Borges.
The joint venture formed between ProMarks and Trafigura would develop, finance, construct and operate the electricity interconnector.. The project is intended to be
financed through a combination of equity capital and third-party debt. Planning, approvals and construction would take around four years after the final investment decision is made.
“Angola is using the full potential of its hydro and solar resources to produce energy in a clean and sustainable way. The interconnector project between the electricity grids of Angola and neighbouring countries could, along with the Caculo Cabaça Hydro dam, be the most important project for the electricity sector, attracting substantial new revenues for Angola and facilitating a return on the investment that has been made by the government in energy production,” said Elísio Augusto, Executive Director for ProMarks.
Trafigura is interested in investing in and co-developing the project which would be run as a public-private partnership on a long-term basis.
As part of the consortium for the Lobito Atlantic Railway that is already helping to bring vital goods and resources into the region and supporting business development and commercial activity along the route, the company is well placed to work with its existing customer base to conclude long term energy supply agreements.

ZAMBIA’S BAD DROUGHT & POWER SHORTAGESHOW TO UNLOCK A HIGH-ENERGY FUTURE
Zambia is currently experiencing its worst drought in at least two decades, which has led to severe food shortages, water scarcity, and a national emergency declaration.
The drought has affected crop planting, with one million hectares lost due to El Nino’s influence on the 2023-2024 rainy season. The country is highly dependent on hydroelectric power, and experts warn that the consequences of the drought could last until early 20253.
Faced by a severe drought which has seen water levels fall dramatically at its hydroelectric power plants, Zambia is hoping to revive abandoned private sector-led power projects and speed up work on an interconnector with Tanzania.
Zambia has received a recent wave of investment in its power infrastructure, a result of Hichilema welcoming foreign investors and independent power producers, writes Maia Sparkman, assistant director at the Atlantic Council Global Energy Center.
Zambia has 2,800 megawatts of installed electricity generation capacity, with 85% of the electricity mix derived from hydropower, and 31% of the population has access to energy - the majority being in urban areas.
President Hakainde Hichilema’s landslide victory over former President Edgar Lungu in August 2021 placed Zambia back on a path towards inclusive economic growth through attempts to restructure debt, promotion of private sector interest in infrastructure and energy investments, and delivery of economic opportunities to rural communities across the country, where over half of the population lives below the poverty line.
Given these developments, Zambia presents a model for expanded collaboration between African economies, the United States, and other allies, with partnership attributes which can be replicated elsewhere on the continent.
The global disruptions to expected rainfall patterns, linked to the effects of climate change, has directly affected Zambian hydropower.
Zambia’s loadshedding challenges made news this past December 2023 as the public utility, ZESCO, announced that consumers would experience up to twelve hours of loadshedding a day because of critically low water levels at the Kariba Dam, on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe.
During this time, the dam on Zambia’s side of the border could not deliver even 40% of its 1,080 MW capacity, crippling the country’s ability to deliver energy to consumers.
A few notable investments and memoranda of understanding (MOUs) have been announced by key partners from around the world, positioning Zambia as a high prospect for low-carbon energy investments and unlocking opportunities to deliver investments in 24/7 clean electricity systems necessary to power industrial activity such as minerals processing.
A few weeks ago, seven British companies announced an investment commitment of US$2 billion in renewable energy projects in Zambia, to produce 1,500 MW of clean energy.
This investment, labelled a “capital injection” by President Hichilema, will nearly triple Zambia’s electric capacity in combination with the investment from the British coalition.
These investments will bolster the Zambian grid’s ability to generate electricity at times when hydropower
generation is low and solar irradiance is high.
Providing commitments to develop Zambia’s energy infrastructure is not a matter of aid or charity. It has the potential to bring Zambia into the fold of the global economy - a process which adds value for Zambians and Zambia’s trade partner and provide critical input to the global energy transition.
Recognising this, during the US-African Leaders Summit hosted by the Biden Administration this past December 2023, the US, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), and Zambia signed an MOU to strengthen co-operation to develop a cross-border integrated electric vehicle (EV) battery value chain.
This MOU is a welcome example of the form of partnership which the US and its allies should adopt in their commercial partnerships with African nations.
Notably, the MOU expresses a desire to support the DRC and Zambia in developing economic activity within the EV battery value chain from the mine to the assembly line, not solely in the extraction of raw materials. Such a partnership provides an area for the US private sector to share knowledge and provide project development services and allow local industry the capacity to grow while firming global supply for critical materials and technologies.
Zambia, as well as other countries across the continent, has organised high-level diplomatic visits to establish a stronger relationship between the US and Africa. It is hoped the US will further strengthen energy development throughout the continent, a critical missing link in driving economic growth and expanding opportunities.

SENEGAL’S ST LOUIS GAS PLANT IS CURRENTLY BEING BUILT BY A CONGLOMERATE
The 225MW Saint Louis combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) development on Senegal’s north-west coast is nearing financial close, according to a progress update given by the developer.
In January 2024 Aksa Energy, through its subsidiary NDAR Energies, began construction on the 255 MW combined cycle gas-fired (CCGT) power plant and gas pipeline in Saint Louis - it has been designed to be powered by domestically produced natural gas.
The US$475m project is being financed by the African Export-Import Bank and already has a 25-year power purchase agreement (PPA) in place between NDAR Energies and Senegal’s state-owned electricity company Senelec. The project is expected to begin commercial production in 2026 and it aims to help diversify Senegal’s power mix.
Senegal has a total electricity capacity of nearly 1.8 GW (end of 2022); however, due to ageing facilities, operational incidents, fuel supply constraints, and maintenance programmes, the available capacity is lower and oil covers 79% of the power mix.
The government aims to ensure universal access to electricity by 2025 and doggedly pursues its objective of 40% of renewables in the grid-connected power capacity by 2030.
Over the last two decades, the combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) has become the dominant technology for gas-fired power due to its high efficiency, low operating costs, and low emissions. In lower-income countries, however, project development and operating environments can make the open cycle gas turbine (OCGT) a more affordable option – and more compatible with a high-renewables future.
An open cycle gas turbine compresses air, burns it with gaseous fuel, and expands the resulting gas through a turbine to extract energy in the form of electricity (a jet engine works in the same way, except it uses the energy to create thrust.)
A combined cycle gas turbine starts with an OCGT and adds a “bottoming cycle” which uses the exhaust heat from the gas turbine to make steam that expands through another turbine to generate additional electricity. This additional cycle makes CCGTs more expensive to build, but also more efficient at converting the energy content of the gas to electricity.
This gives CCGT’s lower operating costs and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions per megawatt-hour (MWh) of electricity produced. The efficiency of CCGTs has made them a mainstay of generation fleets in the US, UK, and other countries.
The United States has added 267 GW of CCGT capacity since 2000, with CCGTs now representing 56% of gas-fired generating capacity (vs. 28% for OCGTs).
In the US, gas is displacing coal, which has led to an increase in the average CCGT capacity factor from about 35% in 2005 to about 60% today.
CCGTs now provide baseload power in much of the country, while OCGTs provide “peaking” power during the limited number of hours in which demand is particularly high. Project development challenges in lower-income countries.
Elsewhere in Africa - in this case on the Ivory Coast - one high-profile CCGT development from 2022 is the Atinkou project.
This is a 390MW gas-fired, combined-cycle power plant (CCPP) in Jacqueville, Ivory Coast. Previously known as the Ciprel V power plant, it was developed by Atinkou, a subsidiary of the French company Eranove.
The Atinkou power project is a combined-cycle gas plant equipped with a single gas turbine, steam turbine and recovery boiler. It is based on a 30ha site located in the village of Taboth. Taboth is in Jacqueville prefecture, approximately 30km west of Abidjan. The Atinkou power plant generates approximately 2.87TWh
of energy a year, sufficient to power about one million homes. It is also estimated to offset 490,122t of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions a year.
The plant includes a condenser, generator and SPPA-T3000 control system. A SGT5-4000F 255MW gas turbine combusts gas making energy and heat, which is recovered to drive the 135MW steam turbine.
The SGT5-4000F gas turbine is the first F-class turbine to be installed in Sub-Saharan Africa. It is designed to provide high performance and low power generation costs.
The turbine has optimised flow and cooling features, which enable high efficiency and economical power generation in combined-cycle applications.
Circuit breakers and insulated phase sheathed conductors have been installed to connect the turbines to the step-up transformers. The control room features an integrated control and command system to enable the monitoring of plant installations.
The power generated from the Atinkou plant is transmitted through a 400kV transmission line between a substation at the plant site and the Akoupé Zeudji substation.
The 400kV network is the first in the country aimed at reducing energy transmission losses.

4MW OF DIESEL GENSETS FOR IX AFRICA DATA CENTRE - THE LARGEST DATA HUB IN EAST AFRICA
CAR & GENERAL TRADING LIMITED (C&G) of Dar Es Salaam has supplied and installed a 4MW power unit for IX Africa Data Center in Kenya: the unit was successfully tested in UAE before transportation and installation (Factory Acceptance Test).
The state-of-the-art IX Africa facility has been specifically designed to cater for hyperscalers and deliver hyper-cloud services. It is currently the largest data hub in East Africa, making it a key location for serving the growth and demand predicted in the telecoms sector.
A C&G company spokesman commented: “We are proud to be a part of it and all thanks to the great team Cummins - their proactive customer support and dedicated hours-long FAT follow up was impressive.”
Cummins offers a wide range of EPA Tier 4-certified stationary and mobile prime generator sets to provide critical protection in virtually any power generation application.
With power nodes ranging from 60 to 2,750 kW, Cummins generator sets offer the highest possible emissions reductions, reports the manufacturer.
Offering a full range of diesel and compressed gas products, Cummins Power Units are a turnkey solution in both open and enclosed platforms from a standard line of base engine models to customized units specifically engineered for a unique piece of equipment, reports the company.
Cummins Power Units are said to provide ‘unparalleled quality and dependability designed for a wide variety of markets and applications’. Each Power Unit is backed by the Cummins worldwide parts and service network, with over 6,500 authorized service locations around the world.
A spokesman comments: “Our Tier 4 final technology solution for Power Units builds upon the proven durability of our Tier 3 Power Units. Cummins has a unique advantage in that we design and manufacture all of the critical engine subsystems and exhaust aftertreatment components.
“Cummins up-fits the base engine and validates the entire Power Unit package to ensure a completely integrated power package. The total system is optimized for our customers to minimize installation impact and achieve the lowest cost of operation.”
Nairobi is considered the regional hub for data centres, with major players like Africa Data Centres, IXAfrica, Linx Nairobi, Icolo, and PAIX
Kenya operating here.
Kenya is actively encouraging a growing cloud infrastructure, with operators like Amazon Web Services (AWS) having local zone presence.
The country currently has about 11 data centres, including such key investors as icolo.io (Digital Realty), IXAfrica, PAIX, Teraco Data Environments, and Wingu. Power and storage requirements for data centres in the region are growing exponentially and creating problems for the industry, according to JLL’s Data Centers Global Outlook Report for 2024.
The increased enterprise focus on generative AI requires a huge amount of power, which in turn is exacerbating a “scarcity of data center colocation supply” caused by regional power limitations.
