PANEL DISCUSSION: Towards New Market Models and Investments in Transmission?

Expanding energy access in Africa and diversifying the continent's electricity necessarily requires significant investments into the strengthening and expansion of its transmission networks. However, while government and the public sector have traditionally funded capital-intensive transmission projects, increasing fiscal pressures and limited budget are pushing the continent to be innovative and seek private sector participation and alternative sources of funding.   

  • What are the best business models available to African markets to develop their transmission networks? 
  • What are the modalities and policies required to support the growth of independent or PPP transmission projects? 
  • How is growing renewable energy adoption and storage technologies impacting the demand for transmission infrastructure? 
  • Unlock the industrial and inclusive development of associated value chains.
