Answer 9

why wouldnt they ? Power in Africa Overview
Electric generating capacity in Africa in 1997 was concentrated in two regions — North and Southern Africa. Combined, those two regions alone accounted for 82% of total power generating capacity in Africa. The Democratic Republic of Congo (Central), Kenya (East), and Nigeria (West) are the leaders in power generating capacity for Africa’s other regions.

South Africa’s utility, Eskom, is the world’s fifth largest utility measured both in electricity sales and nominal generating capacity. Eskom also operates Africa’s only nuclear power generation facility (Koeberg) at Capetown.

South Africa, Zambia and Ghana are the largest net exporters of electricity in Africa. In 1997, net exports from South Africa were 6.6 terawatthours (Twh) of power, Zambia 1.2 Twh, and Ghana 0.3 Twh.

CENTRAL AFRICA
The Canadian firm, Ocelot Energy, and the Societe Nationale des Hydrocarbures (SNH), Cameroon’s state-owned oil firm, have signed a memorandum of understanding for the construction of a 175-megawatts (MW) power facility. The gas-powered facility will be supplied with fuel from the Sanaga Sud field which Ocelot is developing offshore southern Cameroon.

The Democratic Republic of Congo is planning to develop projects to expand the Inga hydroelectric facility located on the Congo River. The 2,000-MW Inga II plant and the 40,000-MW Grand Inga facility would be utilized primarily for power exports. The combined capacity of these two projects is almost as large as Southern Africa’s current installed capacity.
