Mozambique plans to increase its power generation capacity with new hydro power plants. There are 8 hydro projects. There is a lot of potential to develop generation by biomass, geothermal and solar, as well. A new renewable energy atlas indicates that projects could be planned: http://www.macauhub.com.mo/en/2014/04/08/mozambique-draws-up-renewable-energy-%E2%80%9Catlas%E2%80%9D

Zambia has several hydro power projects. If all of them are realized, the capacity will increase by over 4000 MW.

A biofuels industry could emerge in Zambia to help reduce its dependence on imported fuels. http://www.zambian-economist.com/2014/02/economics-of-biofuels.html

Kenya is to start building 300MW wind park with partial funding form Finnfund.

Renewable energy

Nigeria has the following targets for renewable sources:

– 18% of electricity from renewables by 2025

– 20% of electricity from renewables by 2030

– 100 MW of small hydropower by 2015 and 760 MW by 2025

– 300 MW of solar PV by 2015 and 4000MW by 2025

– 40 MW of wind Power by 2020

– 30 MW of biomass–fired capacity by 2020

Regional transmission of electricity – There are numerous huge projects in transmission

of electricity – The Africa Clean Energy Corridor would create a

5000-mile north-south electricity transmission

network stretching from Egypt through Sudan,

South Sudan, Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi,

Mozambique, Zambia and Zimbabwe to South

Africa. Of particular importance is the Ethiopia -

South Africa line to be completed by 2020.

– Another priority project is the 2300-mile Central

Africa Transmission Corridor linking the Democratic

Republic of Congo to South Africa through Angola

and Namibia, and north to Chad through Equatorial

Guinea, Gabon and Cameroon.

– New fossil and hydro power generation units need to be connected to transmission lines

– New Renewable energy generation will change the structure inside countries .

78

Regional transmission of electricity

The Eastern Africa Power Pool (EAPP) will link member countries with HV transmission lines.

One example is an 1100 km long 500 kV DC transmission line from Ethiopia to Kenya with a power transfer capacity of 2,000 MW. This is at an advanced stage of implementation. The line would enable these two countries to benefit from the respective advantages of their own power systems, which have strong complementarities: the bulk of Kenya's generation is expected to come from geothermal and fuel fired thermal plants, while Ethiopia possesses a large potential of hydro power.

Jobs in Africa

– Creating jobs is one of leading political targets in many African countries

– Countries are on the way from resource based economies to be manufacturing countries.

– There is high demand for vocational training to fill new jobs with skilled people

Jobs in Africa – Creating jobs is one of

leading political targets in many African countries

– Countries are on the way from resource based economies to be manufacturing countries.

– There is high demand for vocational training to fill new jobs with skilled people

– Infrastructure investments, mining sector growth and developing agriculture and food production are on going jobs creators

81

Jobs in Africa

– Creating local business

– South Africa is investing strongly in energy production and infrastructure to create jobs.

– There is demand of local content in public project tenderings. Some new results:

– Establishing solar panel manufacturing company

– Train factory is under construction.

– Botswana moved their diamond sales from London to Gaborone so that activity would create jobs in tourism and services in Botswana.

82

Jobs in Africa

– There is competition in attracting mining investments for creating jobs. Many of the African countries have made new mining laws to attract investments.

– Countries like Botswana, Namibia and South Africa which have mining industry are putting their efforts now in creating beneficiation of minerals in their countries.

– Global mining companies over Africa are activating and educating local suppliers. Drivers for this are social responsibility, laws and need for suppliers in new productions regions.

– South African mining companies have to purchase high amount of their supplies from local companies and companies with 25 % of black ownership. If targets are not reached mining licenses are in danger.

83

Jobs in Africa

– Creating employment through green jobs

– the Youth Jobs in Waste Programme, which will create 3577 jobs once it is fully operational in the provinces, and the Wastepreneur programme, which is being implemented through the department’s Green Fund and aims to create job opportunities for the youth and women. The Wastepreneur programme has created about 2 350 jobs to date, with a final target of creating 4400 jobs by the time the project is fully operational in KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng in South Africa

84

Jobs in Africa

– Unemployed Portuguese find jobs in Africa

– Many unemployed from Portugal move to Angola or Mozambique due to work opportunities. There used to be Africans coming to Europe to work, but now the stream seems to be shifting at least in the depression struck countries. Economies in Mozambique and Angola are growing strongly . Skilled workforce is needed to get new resources like gas and coal in to use.

85

Education Empowering

– Health care education turns towards mobile and social media

– New value added manufacturing demands people with skills that not exist in the market – vocational training models are searched e.g. from Germany

– Multi national companies provide basic and professional education as part of their corporate social responsibility programs
