Bangladesh has focused on improving its electricity generation over the last few years to mitigate the demand-supply gap.

Qatar’s high voltage transmission grid is owned and operated by KAHRAMAA. As of 2021, the country’s transmission network comprised about 4,064 km of line length at 132 kV and above voltage levels.

According to the Arab Union Of Electricity, the electricity demand in the country is likely to increase at a CAGR of 1.8 per cent during the 2022-2031 period.

The Qatar General Electricity and Water Corporation, also known as KAHRAMAA, controls electricity distribution and transmission throughout the country and serves as the sole transmission and distribution system owner and operator (TDSOO) for the electricity and water sector in Qatar.

The Southern African Power Pool (SAPP) was created in 1995 and was the first formal international power pool in Africa.

By the end of 2021, the total transmission line length of six member countries (for which line length details were available), namely, Angola, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa, Tanzania and Zambia, was 62,710 km.

According to SAPP’s statistics report 2020, the electricity demand for the 12 member countries is expected to increase from 64,639 MW in 2022 to 72,458 MW in 2025, representing a CAGR of 3.88 per cent.

Argentina liberalised its electricity sector in 1992, which resulted in the vertical and horizontal unbundling of the sector and the establishment of the energy regulator Ente Nacional Regulador de la Electricidad (ENRE). The Secretaría de Energía (SE), under the Ministerio de Planificación Federal, Inversión Pública y Servicios, is responsible for policymaking for the electricity sector, and the Consejo Federal de la Energía Eléctrica (CFEE) administers the funds for electricity projects.

At the end of 2021, the country’s transmission network comprised about 35,727 km of transmission lines between the 132 kV AC and 500 kV voltage levels. Since 2016, transmission line length has witnessed a CAGR of 1.06 per cent.

According to the Trend Scenario of Energy 2030, the country is expected to add close to 1,488 TWh of generation capacity during the period 2022-30, to meet the growing electricity demand. Nuclear, hydro, thermal and RE projects will be major contributors, accounting for the majority of the upcoming additions.

According to Global Transmission Research, it is expected that electricity demand in the 10 countries will reach 21,796 TWh by 2031.

The top 10 countries (with the highest gross domestic product, GDP, in 2021) together had an installed generation capacity of 5,243 GW at the end of 2021. China accounted for the highest share of about 44 per cent, followed by the US with 25 per cent.
