Electricity challenges for Africa towards 2010 and beyond

Electricity supply remains a challenge the world over due to the capital-intensive nature of the generation and transmission investments required. This paper focuses on the present status and future prospect of electricity infrastructure from the viewpoint of generation and transmission development, global deregulation trends and policies, advances in global research and development (R & D) and strategies to influence the integration into the global transition to knowledge based economies in Africa. The panel will therefore evaluate and update models and policies that are near term, mid term and long term.
