2 OUTLINE Power Demand & Supply Profile Power Exchanges (Import and Exports Flows) Price of Power West Africa Gas Pipeline (WAGP) West Africa Power Pool (WAPP) Conclusions

3 The Total Electric Power installed capacity in the whole the 15 countries within West Africa Sub-Region is about 11,500MW South Africa ~36,000 MW South Korea ~ 75,000 MW CAPE VERDE GAMBIA GUINEA BISSAU SENEGAL GUINEA SIERRA LEONE LIBERIA CÔTE D IVOIRE MALI BURKINA FASO GHANA TOGO BENIN NIGER NIGERIA

4 Electricity Access in the sub-region is one of the lowest in the World

5 Energy Consumption Distribution Energy Production Distribution Nigeria, Ghana and Cote d Ivoire produce and consume over 85% of the Regions Electrical Energy

6 Currently we have limited power exchanges between the countries in the sub-region CAPE VERDE MALI NIGER SENEGAL GAMBIA GUINEA BISSAU SIERRA LEONE GUINEA LIBERIA 30 CÔTE D IVOIRE 200 BURKINA FASO 5 GHANA TOGO 100 BENIN 60 NIGERIA

Han (Ghana) Bobo Dioulasso (Burkina Faso) Sikasso Bamako (Mali) Interconnection Project.

21 CONCLUSION Abundant energy resources within ECOWAS region Inadequate power supply demand in most of the countries in the sub-region Unequal geographic distribution of resources High cost of electric energy in most countries in the region WAGP is the demonstration of the potential of regional coordination The successful development of the WAPP will better provide electricity for more people in the sub-region
