Quantifying the integration of renewable energy sources
The plan to create a regional electricity market in West Africa was initiated in 1978 when Article 26 of the ECOWAS Treaty was implemented. WAPP was finally established in 1999 by ECOWAS to develop regional generation and transmission infrastructures sufficient to meet projected demand, while ERERA was created in 2008 to …
Op-ed: Energy storage will boost Africa''s energy …
This is largely thanks to the intermittent nature of wind and solar. Improved storage would improve this. In fact, poor storage is contributing to an energy deficit estimated to be holding back Africa''s growth by 2 to 4% every year. This is stifling the creation of jobs, and curbing development in industry, education, healthcare and more.
