The African Development Bank Groups NEPAD Regional Integration and Trade Department (ONRI), has published the Energy Sector Capacity Building Diagnostic and Needs Assessment Study. This report focuses on addressing the “soft infrastructure” challenges that hamper the efficient operation and financial performance of the energy sector in #Africa. Such soft infrastructure issues include legal and regulatory reforms, energy sector restructuring (as partly envisaged in countries like #Angola, #Kenya and #Tanzania), power planning and support for enhanced regional power trade. Addressing these challenges would boost capacity for regional energy trade across the four regional power pools of sub-Saharan Africa, which in turn would enhance energy security whilst bringing economies of scale in energy sector investments.
