Egypt Trounces South Africa As The Continent’s Top Electricity Producer by Tofax: 5:52am On Aug 12, 2019 |
Egypt has reached installed capacity of 55,000 Megawatts of electricity per day, the country’s supervisory minister for energy says. That is some 3,000MW higher than produced by South Africa, to go by that’s country’s own official figures.But capacity, especially of African infrastructure, doesn’t always translate to actual delivery. “Starting from 2014 up till the end of 2018, the total capacity added to the network was 25,426 Megawatts”, declares Mohammed Shaker, Egypt’s Minister of Electricity and Renewable Energy. 85% of the power is fuelled by natural gas. “The 25,426MW was approximately the maximum load we could supply during 2014, which means we already doubled what we have at that time”, Shaker explains. South Africa doesn’t have that kind of story to tell, as the state power utility grapples with a debt load of about $30Billion, borrowing money on short-term contracts to help it meet its commitments to its long-term loans. But whereas Eskom is a clear corporate entity, it is difficult to differentiate the Egyptian Electricity Holding company from the Egyptian state itself. “The installed capacity in Egypt is almost exceeding 55 Gigawatts although our consumption is less than that but we are trying to depend on the operations of high efficiency generators, combined cycle and because of these we could manage the to reduce the consumption of fuel to a great extent and this will be reflected on the cost of tariff”, says the minister, a former Professor of Electrical Power Engineering at the Cairo University. “Almost 60-65% of the cost of tariff is as a result of the fuel, if we have savings in the fuel consumption, it makes a difference for the costing of electricity”. http://africaoilgasreport.com/2019/08/power-deficit/egypt-trounces-south-africa-as-the-continents-top-electricity-producer/ 1 Like |

After Arab spring, they have now doubled their electricity generated whereas same cannot be said of Libya which is now boiling in anarchy, afflicted with political instability. Meanwhile since 1999, naija has been struggling to generate 10,000 megawatt. 2 Likes |

The problem is that the money they spent on this 50,000 capacity may be smaller than what Nigeria spend on generating 3700mw of electricity. 1 Like |

May GOD punish those who keep saying that NIGERIA is the GIANT of AFRICA except they qualify the KIND of GIANT we are and in what perspective... When I keep saying that, there is something TOTALLY WRONG with the BLACKMAN, people will scream nothing. MOST countries that have the WHITES in abundance, have these DEVELOPMENT-DRIVEN GOALS. This is irrespective of the kind of Whites they are and their religious inclinations, be it Muslim, Christian, Hindu.... |

That's a country that faced few years of revolution war. In the same period, the so called giant of Africa electricity generation hangs between 2000 MW - 4500MW. |
