Introduction Role of Electricity in Economic Development well Documented Yet Africa Remains Under-Electrified Likely that Most Planned Projects will Not Materialise Yet Africa Increasingly Stable and Investor Friendly Potential Solution: Power Pools!
Timeline for Major International Market Developments Major Issue 2010 2015 2020 2025 2030 Fuel Supply And Costs Oil passes $100 per barrel Continued acceleration of coal-fired power Rising world oil prices dampen demand for liquid fuel after 2015 Acceleration of Natural gas Resurgence Of Nuclear Growth of natural gas kept in check by high gas prices Coal reaches Almost 45% of energy Consumption, following growth in India and China Global Energy Demand Strong growth In all regions Growth dominated by India & China Deceleration and maturation of EU Long-running boom in Russia Developing economies pass 40% of electricity demand Global Energy Demand almost double 2000 levels Electricity generation passes 30,000 billion kwh Environment Issues China overtakes the US as the world s biggest emitter of CO2 Accelerated investment in carbon capture and storage 20% Renewable Energy in Europe Stationary fuel cells contribute to distributed generation Global CO2 Emissions reach 40 Gt

Africa in Perspective Snapshot Overview Sub-Saharan Africa is in dire need of additional generation capacityto avert a looming power crisis A growing demand for electricity in the sub- Saharan African region Insufficient generation capacities Only 23.0 percent of the continent s population had access to electricity in 2007 SSA total electricity generation only 1.8 per cent of the world s total in 2007 >$563 billion needed Booming economies with growth in excess of 4 per cent Years of underinvestment in generation and T&D infrastructure Failed planning & maintenance programs An additional 270GW is needed in the next 25 years
Key Drivers & Restraints Global Market Drivers and Restraints, 2009 Certainty and Critical Grid in Africa High Economic Rising Growth Population Increased Urbanisation Growth Market Drivers Market Restraints Rural Electrification Programs Unimportant Increased Regional Cooperation Global Lead Time for Products Reduced Equipment Prices Very Certain High Cost of Feedstock Increased Political and Investment Stability Economic Development Increased Demand for Electricity Corruption and Political Intervention Lack of Project Funding Lack of Skilled Employees Critical Bureaucracy Lack of Finance Political Risk Note: The length of the arrows represent the degree of impact.

Planned Future Projects in Selected African Countries West Africa (Nigeria Excluded) 20 Power projects planned 3472 MW of additional capacity Hydro power accounts for 52.2% of the total new additional capacity Ivory Coast accounts for 38.7% of the total new additional capacity Nigeria Mambila project 2000 MW of additional capacity Hydro-based power station Feasibility studies DRC Inga (I, II, III) and Busanga to add a combined 4390MW Hydro-based power stations The refurbishment of Inga I & II cost approximately $226.7 million The scale of the investment suggests a PPP must be adopted East Africa 21 Power projects planned 7870 MW of additional capacity Hydro power accounts for 79.0% of the total new additional capacity Tanzania and Ethiopia are expected to account for 89.4% of the total capacity Namibia/Botswana Namibia expected to add approx. 1680MW 47.6% of the total additional capacity to be gas-based Botswana expected to add at least 3800MW by 2013 South Africa 5-year build program to cost over $37.8bln 59.7% of the total new capacity is still expected to be coal-based Government guarantees to reach $17.5 billion Public utility credit metrics have deteriorated Source: Frost & Sullivan

The African Power Pools The Dream North Africa West Africa (WAPP) Central Africa (CAPP) East Africa (EAPP) Southern Africa (SAPP)
Feedstock Options Solutions Pro s Con s Gas Fast and Flexible Limited Gas Reserves Volatility of the price New Coal Nuclear Renewable (Wind and Geothermal) Hydro Fuel available Technology well understood Price benefit (large scale) Fuel available No emissions No fuel costs Cheap, clean Long Lead Times Needs water Dirty Expensive, need skills Storage solutions needed Resources far from demand Long lead time Coal Gas Hydro Diesel Oil Nuclear Geothermal
The African Power Pools The Reality The Good Increased Awareness and Discussion Increased Co-operation Power Trading does Happen Various Projects (Westcor, WAPP etc) Increased Skills Transfers The Bad Underdeveloped Generation Capacity Underdeveloped T&D Infrastructure Lack of Contractual Agreements Lack of Country Co- Operation Underdeveloped IT Integration
Power Pool Activities Current Reality 2009-2020 Future Development Ideal Functioning 2020 + Study the Demand for Power To Determine each Members Role (New Build vs. Imports) To Define Areas where New Projects can be Started To Define where Electricity needs to be Imported To Balance the Energy Costs Electricity Trading (Experimental) Expansion of the T&D Grid Bilateral Government Agreement Management Legislative Enforcement (Development of Wheeling Agreements) Increased Regional Cooperation Efficient Electricity Trading Energy Cost Management Reliable and Stable Electricity Supply Regional Collaboration Not Affected by Political Interference Sustainable T&D MRO Activities (Cross Border)
So What is Needed? Increased Investment Increased Competition (Increase Efficiency) Effective Risk Management Re-look at Regional as Opposed to Country Energy Decisions

Risk Management is Key To Finance Investors need Access to Information Investors need Stability and Predictability Investors want to be Part of the Management of Projects What About new Support? (China) Access Risk Factors Investors Assess Before Investing Operations Construction and Compliance Ability to Supply Reliably Risk Factors Political Environmental Financial Source: Frost & Sullivan
IPP Involvement and Development IPP swill also Play a Significant Role Access to Capital and Skills Access to Technology and Experience Management of Systems and Relationships through Management Contracts Can we Afford a Single Buyer Model? Selected IPP s Operating in Africa (Africa), 2008
Attracting Investment What is Needed? Strategies Incremental Increase in Electricity Tariffs Diversification of the Energy Mix Support for an Energy-Independent Private Sector Continuous Electricity Imports Difficulty of Implementation High: Social and Political Implications Medium: A Function of the Nature of Available Feedstock Medium: Development of Cost Reflective Tariffs Medium to High What is needed? Political Will Financial Capabilities Political Will: Incentive Schemes such as Reduced Taxation could be Introduced Development of Regional Power Pools
Attracting Investment What is Needed? Strategies Revamping the Distribution Network Providing Guarantees to Utilities Electricity Rationing Programs Additional Temporary Power: Gensets Difficulty of Implementation Medium: Municipalities Disturbances Medium: Capital Availabilty Low, but Downward Effects on Economic Growth Expected Medium to High: Increasing Price of Fuel What is needed? The Example of South Africa: REDs? Political Will Consumers Willingness to Cooperate Financial Capabilities
Future Outlook for Power Pools in Africa The Outlook for Power Pools are Bright Every Country in Africa Stands to Gain but Needs to Contribute Investment in T&D Infrastructure Critical Utilities and Energy Ministries should Focus on Risk Management and Investor Friendly Environments Only Africa can Help Africa Do not Expect International Help
