Opening Power Markets to Private Sector Participation

This study delves into Namibia’s introduction of the Modified Single Buyer (MSB) model, one of the most progressive power market structures on the African continent. Namibia had introduced the MSB model in 2019 in order to liberalise its power market, attract private investment, and increase domestic generation. The model enables Independent Power Producers (IPPs) to sell electricity directly in parts to large users or export it to the Southern African Power Pool (SAPP), while eligible customers can procure power directly from generators.

Powering Peru’s Future: Smarter Forecasting for Reliable Renewable Integration

This report sheds light on Peru’s impressive journey to improved variable renewable energy (vRE) forecasting and a future-ready grid. For Peru, a country rich in solar and wind resources, the challenge of accurate generation prediction was particularly critical in view of the country’s goal of a 20% share of renewables in its electricity mix by 2030. But with more vRE feeding into the system, knowing the output in advance became harder and more important than ever.

Breaking Barriers, Building Markets

This publication examines how opening power markets can unlock the investment and innovation needed to meet Africa’s growing demand for reliable, affordable, and sustainable electricity. The paper highlights a pivotal shift: moving from a bottom-up, project-by-project approach toward structured markets that enable broad participation. Market reform creates space for diverse new players, reducing risk through diversification and driving down costs.
