| Summary: | The Nile riparian countries established
the Nile Basin Initiative (NBI) in February 1999. The NBI is
a transitional mechanism that provides an agreed framework
to fight poverty and promote economic development. This
study, reviews the opportunities for power trade in the Nile
Basin countries (based on experience from other regions of
the world), identifies the potential benefits of power trade
at different stages of market development and barriers to
regional power trade. The study is structured in four
chapters: (i) an overview of the power sectors of the 10
Nile Basin countries and different types of power trade;
(ii) potential for power trade based on the characteristics
of the Nile Basin in terms of resource endowments, energy
balances, existing generation and transmission facilities,
and present and future demand and supply; (iii) scope for
power trade in the Nile Basin; and (iv) framework for
developing power trade. |
