What is required is an assessment of the costs of provision of energy generated using different types of technology, of current and future energy demand, as well as of perceptions regarding the reliability of supply.
The work builds on a recently completed global study on country stakes in international climate negotiations that included a renewable energy component as well as on ongoing geographic analysis support for the Africa Infrastructure Diagnostic Study.
The research will examine options for expanding electricity access to poor and remote rural areas in Africa, considering cost of provision, competitiveness of renewable energy options and reliability of supply (e.g., sustainability of hydropower under various climate change scenarios, and demand management options).
