Senegal Energy Outlook
…both rural and urban areas for more than 70% of the population currently still lacking access. Senegal fossil fuel demand and production by scenario to 2040 Senegal is not a fossil fuel producer today, but major gas discoveries are expected to change the picture and to lead to gas production of 9.5 bcm in 2040 in the STEPS.The greater availability of gas helps displace oil use in power generation in domestic markets while also bringing considerable export revenues. Energy investment needs amount to $33 billion through to 2040 in the STEPS, mainly to unlock the potential for gas…

National Climate Resilience Assessment for Mozambique
Mozambique’s energy system has experienced significant disruptions due to extreme weather events, notably tropical storms and cyclones. With climate change, storms are projected to intensify, as are the risks of seasonal droughts and floods, posing a threat to the reliable operation of hydropower generation and the secure operation of the country’s coal mines. Mozambique’s plans to diversify its energy supply are an important step to enhance energy security and could be complemented by targeted measures to make its electricity system more resilient to natural hazards. Storms and tropical cyclones present the most regular extreme weather event faced…

The Covid-19 crisis is reversing progress on energy access in Africa
…has put this progress into reverse, with the number of those lacking electricity in Africa rising to more than 590 million people in 2020, an increase of 13 million people, or 2%, from last year, according to analysis in the World Energy Outlook 2020.There are several underlying reasons for this mainly stemming from a lack of available financial resources for governments, the private sector and individual households. The health crisis has forced governments to shift their immediate priorities to purely emergency measures, resulting in a lack of financing available for expanding and improving electricity infrastructure. In Uganda, for instance…
