Project Description

The proposed project will provide advisory services to create an enabling policy environment and more competitive markets to allow increased private participation in the provision of energy (with a particular focus on renewable energy) in Sub-Saharan Africa. Increased private participation is expected to improve both the access and reliability of energy supply. The success of the project will be measured by the number of regulatory improvements that will facilitate private solutions for energy supply. These regulatory improvements could be in the form of primary policy, secondary laws and regulations, or rules and guidelines with the following principles: pro-competitive regulations that encourage private participation by removing legal entry barriers for private providers, appropriate and streamlined legal requirements, and standard/transparent rules.
