6 FAQs about [North Africa Energy Storage Project]

Should North Africa export clean electricity to Europe?

North Africa has enormous renewable energy potential, particularly in solar and wind power, whose surplus could be easily exported to Europe. Clean electricity from North Africa would be an important medium-term option to help diversify Europe’s energy mix and reduce reliance on imported fossil fuels in the long term.

How can Development Finance improve access to energy in North Africa?

The implementation of new power infrastructure is expected to be operational in 2030. Development finance institutions have a critical role to play in improving access to energy in North Africa, especially by enabling more electrification of household energy and finance for rooftop energy solutions.

Why does North Africa need a backup power system?

The industry needs hardware, software and international standards – and on top of all this, there is an increasing requirement for power to come from renewable sources. North Africa is witnessing a rising number of refinery green- and brownfield projects, which will warrant an increase in backup power requirements.

Where does North Africa Invest in renewables?

So far, most of the investments are concentrated in Morocco and Egypt. Contrary to the global trend in the period of 2013-2020 which shows private sector financing as the primary source of funding for renewables development, North Africa sees public finance play a far more important role.

What is the Drakensberg pumped storage scheme?

Designed to generate electricity for 10 hours per day through its four 250 MW turbine generators, the Drakensberg Pumped Storage Scheme is an energy storage facility, situated in the northern parts of the Drakensberg Mountain range of South Africa, which provides up to 27.6 GWh of electricity storage.

Is Steg building a hydro energy storage plant in Tunisia?
