Africa Jurisdictions

Overview

Africa has highly diverse electricity market structures. For SSS purposes, the most relevant markets tend to be those with:

  • Legacy nuclear or large legacy hydro that is delivered as part of standard supply, and
  • Credible EAC infrastructure (domestic REC systems or international I-REC), and
  • Sufficiently stable data sources for defensible emission factors and pro‑rata allocation.
