SummaryIn order to reach a goal of universal access to modern energy services in Africa by 2030, consideration of various electricity sector pathways is required to help inform policy-makers and investors, and help guide power system design. To that end, and building on existing tools and analysis, we present several 'high-level', transparent, and economy-wide scenarios for the sub-Saharan African power sector to 2030. We construct these simple scenarios against the backdrop of historical trends and various interpretations of universal access. They are designed to provide the international community with an indication of the overall scale of the effort required. We find that most existing projections, using typical long-term forecasting methods for power planning, show roughly a threefold increase in installed generation capacity occurring by 2030, but more than a tenfold increase would likely be required to provide for full access -even at relatively modest levels of electricity consumption. This equates to approximately a 13% average annual growth rate, compared to a historical one (in the last two decades) of 1.7%.

In this situation, China's power industry can develop the schema of "integration of generation, distribution and retail services while independent of transmission" as well.…”

“…From the 1980s, restructured reforms of the power industry were first launched in the United Kingdom and some Latin American countries, and achieved momentum in 1990s [1,2]. The major purposes of the restructure were to reduce electricity prices through competition, provide consumers with more sufficient and reliable services, and create more commercial opportunities for private capitals [1].…”

Electricity Market Creation in China: Policy Options from Political Economics Perspective

et al. 2018

Abstract:In 2015, a new round reform of the marketization for the electricity sales in China is launched. This paper investigates the policy selection for this reform in China, from the perspective of political economics. We analyze the policy selection of the 2015 reform from two aspects of market structure and pricing mechanism. According to the policy of the 2015 reform, China's power industry is of great potential to develop the market structures of "integration of generation and retail services while integrating transmission and distribution" versus "integration of generation, distribution and retail services while independent of transmission". Those two market structures have advantages on competition efficiency and political practicability. For the pricing mechanisms, the power exchange market of China can take bilateral contracts for the long-term trading and double-sided auctions for the short-term trading, as well as for the spot market. In addition, electricity financial market can be set up as a supplement for the power exchange market, which is of potential contribution to manage the risk and discover the effective price. The 2015, reform assigns two state-owned grid companies the responsibility of the demand side management. The intelligent system to improve the information management of energy consumption can be established. Utilization of renewable energy is also emphasized in the 2015 reform for energy sustainability in China. Effective policy instruments, such as the efficient subsidy policy, an independent exchange market, and a quota system, for the promotion of renewable energy utilization, can be implemented.

“…At the end of eighties and early nineties, some countries from the Latin American region reformed and liberalized their electric systems . This process was initiated in Chile in 1982, and followed by Argentina, Peru, Bolivia, Colombia, Panamá, El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Honduras, Brazil, Venezuela, Mexico, and Ecuador, and took them to a deep transformation of the energy (and electricity) sectors .…”

The different paths for renewable energies in Latin American Countries: the relevance of the enabling frameworks and the design of instruments

The promotion of renewable energy is a priority for the majority of the regions of the world. The key motivation for the promotion of these sources varies according to the countries; in some cases, the aim is to mitigate climate change, in some others is to address the growing energy demand, or to reduce the dependence on imported fossil fuels. To this purpose, governments implement different energy policies, based on a combination of primary and secondary instruments. Nevertheless, the performance of the policy will depend on the policy design and the enabling environment of the policy, e.g., macroeconomic conditions, political and regulatory risk, and financial sources. During the last decades, many Latin American and Caribbean countries have implemented energy policies to promote renewable electricity. Many of these countries have used a similar combination of support instruments (feed-in laws, targets, auctions, investment subsidies, etc.). However, the results are very dissimilar. In some cases, similar policies, and even the same instruments led to significant increases in renewable energies, while in other cases the impact has been very small. The aim of this study is to review the recent application of energy policies to renewable energies in a group of South American countries and to analyze whether the performance of the policy is due to policy incentives or enabling environment.
