Forum
[Hydro to Power Africa]
Greatest Forum of Hydro to Power Africa

Once in a year, a group of interesting and impactful people from Africa gathers for the week-long experience — which attendees have described as “the ultimate brain spa” and “a journey into the African future energy.”

Africa’s hydro potential is significant and has been well known for many years. Africa’s exploitable hydropower potential is estimated at 1,584,670 GWh per year (12 per cent of the world’s total potential); currently, about 92 per cent of this potential remains unexploited. So far, less than 10 per cent of the technical potential has been tapped. This makes hydropower by far the most important renewable power-generation option deployed today. Small hydropower has been credited for its suitability to improve rural electrification and for its potential for socially inclusive and sustainable development.
