East Africa Gearing Up for a Regional Electricity Market
This month, Eastern African countries are set to publish draft regulations that will move the region closer to a regional electricity auction market. The 13-member Eastern Africa Power Pool (EAPP) is working on rules that will guide cross-border power trade, including the creation of a Day Ahead Market (DAM). This system will allow countries with surplus electricity to sell to those facing shortages at set prices, helping stabilise costs and reduce blackouts. The regional market is also expected to improve access to cleaner and cheaper electricity, cutting reliance on expensive and polluting backup power sources.
