2 Renewable energy Energy Potential and Supply in Africa in Figures ♦ 21 countries out of 53 could profitably exploit hydraulic energy in Africa but only 7 per cent of this potential is No. 14 exploited, essentially in Egypt, Mozambique, Zambia, Nigeria and Ghana. ♦ The Rift Valley offers access to geothermal energy potential of about 6.5 gigawatts, of which just 121MW are exploited in Kenya. ♦ Average solar radiation in Africa ranges from 5 to 7 kWh/m2 per day, on a par with the Arab peninsula, northern Australia and northern Chile. At the same time, Africa has only 1.3 per cent of world photovoltaic production capacity. Biomass ♦ 9 out of 10 people in sub-Saharan Africa use biomass, such as wood or left-overs, for lighting, cooking and heating. ♦ 6 out of 10 African women living in rural areas have to deal with the scarcity of supply of firewood, compared with 8 in Asia and 4 in Latin America. Oil ♦ Africa possesses 7.3 per cent of known world oil reserves and accounts for 10.2 per cent of world production, but possesses only 3.6 per cent of world refinery capacity. ♦ Africa represents only 3 per cent of world energy consumption. Coal ♦ 90 per cent of Africa’s coal reserves, or 5 per cent of world reserves, are in South Africa. Electricity ♦ With 35.5 per cent of the population with access to electricity in 2002, Africa has the lowest level of electrification in the developing world. In Asia, the level is 42.8 per cent, in Latin America 89.2 per cent, in East Asia 88.1 per cent and in the Middle East 91.8 per cent. ♦ There are major disparities in levels of electrification between North Africa (93.6 per cent) and sub-Saharan Africa (23.6 per cent). ♦ The IEA reckons that developing countries should be at least 95 per cent electrified by 2030, except for Southern Asia (66 per cent) and sub-Saharan Africa (51 per cent). ♦ In sub-Saharan Africa, rural populations are the least well served since just 8.4 per cent have access to electricity. ♦ 11.3 per cent of electricity generated in Africa is wasted in the course of production and transportation, compared with 9.2 per cent in the world as a whole. This wastage exceeds 20 per cent in Senegal, Kenya and Tanzania and 40 per cent in Nigeria and Congo.
