2. PREFACE
The objective of the present study is to identify regional power generation and interconnection
projects in the power systems of EAPP and EAC member countries in the short‐to‐long term. The
study also aims at developing a common Grid Code (Interconnection Code) in order to facilitate the
integrated development and operations of the power systems of the member countries.
The study further aims at contributing to the institutional capacity building for the EAPP and EAC
through training of counterpart staff. The development of institutional capacity will enable EAPP/EAC
to implement the subsequent activities, including the updating of both the Master Plan and the
Interconnection Code.
This study covers the following countries in alphabetical order: Burundi, Djibouti, Democratic
Republic of Congo, Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda.
The Master Plan Report has been organized according to the following structure:

1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Study Objectives
The objective of the study is to identify power generation and interconnection projects, at
Master Plan level, to interconnect the power systems of EAPP and EAC countries in short-
to-long term. The study also aims at developing common Transmission Interconnection
Code in order to facilitate the integrated development and operations of the power systems
of EAPP and EAC countries.
The study further aims at contributing to the institutional capacity building for the EAPP and
EAC staff through training of counterpart staff. The development of institutional capacity will
enable EAPP / EAC to implement the subsequent activities, including the updating of both
the Master Plan and the Grid Code reports.
This study covers the following countries in alphabetical order: Burundi, Djibouti, Democratic
Republic of Congo, Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda.
1.2 Project Background
On 24 February 2005, the Energy Ministers from seven (7) Eastern Africa countries, namely:
Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda and Sudan
signed an Inter-Governmental Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the establishment
of the Eastern Africa Power Pool (EAPP). The signature of the MOU was followed by the
signature of an Inter-Utility MOU by the Chief Executive Officers (CEOs)/Managing Directors
of the countries’ nine (9) Power Utilities. This event heralded the formal launching of EAPP.
The EAPP member utilities are: REGIDESO (Burundi), SNEL (DRC), EEHC (Egypt), EEPCo
(Ethiopia), KenGen and KPLC (Kenya), ELECTROGAZ (Rwanda), NEC (Sudan) and
SINELAC (DRC, Rwanda and Burundi).
In further developments, EAPP has been adopted by the 11th Summit of the Common
Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) Authority of Heads of State and
Government held in Djibouti from 15-16 November 2006 and has been considered as
COMESA’s Specialized Institution for Electric Power.
Given that some member countries of EAC overlap with those of EAPP, these two
institutions signed an MOU on September 2009, whereby EAPP and EAC agree to jointly
implement the present Power Master Plan and Grid Code Study for which EAPP is
designated as the Implementation Agency. In this document when reference is made to
“EAPP countries” it is understood that this designates the group of ten countries mentioned
above.
Countries in the region, by and large, have been planning and implementing the
development of their power system in an isolated manner with a view to satisfying the
national demand growth. Bilateral power exchange agreements exist between some
countries in the Region. However, the volume of power exchange is not significant and
exporting parties have frequently been unsuccessful in their commitments to deliver the
power in accordance with their contractual obligations because of deficits in their systems.
The existing power interconnection projects include:
• DRC, Burundi, and Rwanda interconnected from a jointly developed hydro power
station Ruzizi II, (capacity 45 MW) operated by a joint utility [SOCIETE
D’ELECTRICITE DES PAYS DES GRAND LACS (SINELAC)];
10. Final Master Plan Report 1-2 Introduction
May 2011
EAPP/EAC Regional
PSMP & Grid Code Study
• Cross-border electrification between Uganda and Rwanda, Tanzania and Uganda, and
Kenya and Tanzania;
• Kenya – Uganda interconnection; and
• Egyptian power system interconnection through Libya to other Maghreb countries and
Southern Europe; and through Jordan to Eastern Mediterranean.
Other ongoing power interconnection systems are shown in:Table 1-1
Power trading through common planning and implementation of regional generation and
interconnection projects has been identified as one important strategy for tackling the
problems associated with power supply shortages, low access, high cost and poor supply
reliability. However, at present, the power interconnections within the region are limited for
realization of shared benefits that would be generated through integrated development of
their power systems.
Presently, Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda under the auspices of the East African Community
(EAC), are developing plans to (i) interconnect and strengthen their power systems in order
to share power supplies, and (ii) further extend the power system interconnections to
countries outside EAC countries. The Master Plan which was finalized in March 2005 has
identified regional generation and transmission projects for integrated development.
A series of studies have been completed in the last 5 years that cover opportunities for
cross-border interconnections in the region. These include the EAPMP1
, SSEA2
, ENTRO3
,
Ethiopia-Djibouti Interconnection, and the 2004 World Bank Scoping Study4
. Implementation
planning is going ahead for the interconnection of the national grids for the five equatorial
Lakes countries (Burundi, Kenya, Uganda, DRC, and Rwanda).

1.3 Content and objectives of the master plan report
This Master Plan Report provides the findings from the Regional Power System Master
Plan. The Interconnection Code (Grid Code) is part of a separate report.
The Master Plan first discusses all the input data necessary for the planning exercise:
Demand Forecast (WBS 1100), Generation Supply analysis, including existing and future
thermal, hydro and renewable energy projects, and planning criteria (WBS 1200). The
existing transmission network data and models are compiled in WBS 1400 and common
planning criteria and basic unit costs are developed for the candidate interconnection
projects in WBS 1500.
A preliminary identification of the regional projects (generation and interconnections) is
performed including a supply-demand analysis for each country and a regional
interconnection plan is developed under WBS 1300. An estimation of the regional benefits of
different scenarios is also performed.
Detailed system studies for each country and reinforcement needs are identified in WBS
2100 while other aspects of the projects such as the environmental impacts (WBS 2200),
Cost Estimates (2300), Financial-Economic Analysis and risk assessment (WBS 2500) are
presented in the report.
Finally an investment plan for the identified interconnection projects is developed in WBS
2600 and the analysis of institutional and tariff aspects as well as project funding
requirements are included in WBS 2700 and WBS 2800 respectively.
An analysis of the requirements and recommendation for the location of the Regional Market
Operator (RMOC) – RCC is carried out under WBS 2900.
Appendix A contains for the initial phase of development (2013-2017) the TOR, cost
estimates and implementation schedules for the indentified projects.
Appendix B contains specific information and tables for particular sections of the report.

1. DEMAND FORECASTING: GENERAL PRINCIPLES
A demand forecast is the prediction of demand for power (MW) and energy (GWh) into the
future. The maximum power demand (MD) in a period is known as the peak demand, and
this is usually the headline figure which is quoted when developing demand forecasts. It
should be noted however, that in electrical systems with predominantly thermal capacity, it is
more important for planning purposes to know the peak demand rather than the amount of
electrical energy required, since the peak demand often sets the capacity expansion goal.
On the other hand, for systems with large amounts of hydro-electric capacity, it is equally
important to know the level of energy demand, as these systems may have energy
limitations.
It is thus the usual practice in any detailed demand forecast to predict the level of energy
demand first, and then derive the peak demand using appropriate load and coincidence
factors.
1.1 The Need for Demand Forecasting
A demand forecast is a primary requirement for electricity planning studies. Demand
forecasts are needed for:
• Generation planning,
• Transmission planning,
• Distribution planning,
• Financial planning,
• Feasibility studies,
• Pricing and tariff setting, and,
• Operational planning (short-term).
Different demand forecasts are required for the short, medium or long term and for different
levels of the system (e.g. generation, transmission substations, distribution substations and
at consumer terminals).
Rigorous demand forecasting may be necessary for a number of reasons, such as:
• It is often essential for outside parties (e.g. bilateral and multilateral financiers, private
sector investors and project shareholders) to be convinced of the reasonableness of
future load growth and the corresponding investment plan before making a financial
commitment.
• Large consumers are often more optimistic about future growth than is justified by the
prevailing economic climate. This may result in an over-estimate of load with a
consequent over-investment.
• In markets where demand is approaching saturation, judgements formed from buoyant
market growth in the past may not be a good guide to growth in the future.
• Utilities will frequently over-estimate demand allowing for the time required to secure
finance and the necessary project construction approvals.
1.2 Demand Forecasting Techniques
The only certainty about a demand forecast is that it will not match the out-turn. To cover
this eventuality it is essential to develop a demand forecasting technique that is appropriate
and suitable to the objectives of the forecast. No technique can be considered incorrect for
demand forecasting. The technique adopted will depend on the time frame under
19. Final Master Plan Report 1-2 WBS 1100 Demand Forecast

EAPP/EAC Regional
PSMP & Grid Code Study
consideration, the size of the system, the plant available and the data available. In other
words the type of demand forecast technique adopted should fall in line with the
requirements of the study and based on the availability of data.
There are four main demand forecasting techniques, namely:
• Intuitive based demand forecasting
• Extrapolation based demand forecast
• End user demand forecast
• Econometric demand forecasting
A general overview of each of these methods is detailed in the sub-sections below.
Intuitive
The term intuitive forecasting can be used to describe methods which rely largely on
experience and quick calculations using simple assumptions (i.e. the use of the immediate
past performance and an assumption that the rates of change will continue unaltered in the
near future).
The intuitive load forecast should not be entirely discounted, as it is after all in the
background of reviewers’ minds when they appraise other peoples’ demand forecasts. In
some instances, the lack of available data may make intuitive forecasting the only possible
option. The forecast may be appropriate for minor developments, isolated systems and
small Island utilities.
An alternative approach, but still within the intuitive forecasting framework, would be to apply
a growth factor that is obtained for a country with similar economic characteristics. Indeed, it
may be beneficial to compare load forecasts with the performance of a similar system in
another part of the world at a comparable stage of development. This will particularly be the
case where (i) there is little statistical information available on past loads, such as in new
areas of supply, (ii) data errors that cannot be easily corrected, or, (iii) it becomes necessary
to forecast on the results of direct enquiry and demographic and economic statistics.
Such forecasting is no more than guesswork, but the results can be used to cross-check on
forecasts prepared by more scientific methods. Where a new system of forecasting is to be
prepared, it is often helpful to make a comparison of the intuitive forecasts prepared in the
past and subsequent performance.
Extrapolation
Extrapolation techniques look at past trends in energy and power demand over time and,
extend them into the future. Any time series may be decomposed into three elements:
• Trend
• Seasonal variation
• Serial dependency (auto-regression).
Trend is defined as “the long-term average growth and may be regarded in some way as an
average increase in a time series”. Superimposed on this may be a seasonal variation.
Seasonal in this sense is defined as “a cyclic variable that has roughly the same beginning
and end values for a given period of time (similar to the properties of a sine wave)”. Such
variations may be seen over a 24 hour period, a weekly period, an annual period, or even a
longer period.

May 2011
EAPP/EAC Regional
PSMP & Grid Code Study
Finally there may be a dependency between successive values. For example, if the value in
the previous period was high, the value in the current period may be high. Such behaviour
could relate to the random use of batch processing equipment. This interdependency is
known as auto-regression.
There are a wide range of techniques for analysing data on a time series basis including:
• Moving Average
• Exponential smoothing
• Autoregressive techniques
• Simple Regression
• ARIMA (autoregressive integrated moving average)
End User
End-user demand forecast modelling draws on many utility forecasting methods. The
distinguishing characteristic of end-user modelling is the detailed description of how energy
is used. Such models usually begin by specifying uses for which energy is ultimately
required, such as heating water, cooling buildings and cooking food. The model then
describes, via mathematical equations and accounting identities, the types of energy-using
equipment that businesses and households have, and how much energy is used by each
type of equipment to satisfy the predetermined levels of end-use energy demanded. A large
amount of survey data and statistics are needed by such a model. By summing up the units
of equipment times the average energy used by each class of equipment, total energy
demand by fuel type is revealed. Multiplying types of equipment by average use values is
just an accounting framework, but even so, it can generate insights into the way energy is
used now and in the future.
Optimisation end-user models are a step beyond accounting end-user models. By specifying
an objective function (such as minimising cost) and identifying both the unit costs of using
energy in the given processes and the constraints to the system, the accounting end-user
model can be transformed into a device that will predict how customers will act (assuming
that their objective function is properly specified), given the assumptions about costs and
constraints. End-user models are often linked to econometric models.
End-user models are often weakest in predicting consumers' fuel-use decisions. With the
available data, they can easily describe where the energy is being used and for what
purposes but, without a theory to explain choices, they are limited in their ability to predict the
future. The ideal end-user model (which is rarely achieved) would, for example, not only tell
us the average watts of lighting energy in households, and how this amount has changed
over time, but also what caused households and/or housing operators to make these
changes.
End-user forecasting can be highly accurate, particularly for green-field developments, and
for forecasts of residential demand. An extension of end-user demand forecasting is load-
density-based forecasting, in which the maximum load in any area is based upon the surface
area occupied by each consumer type and a power density (i.e. watts per square meter)
associated with that consumer type. This can be especially useful for distribution planning.
End-user forecasts also encompass developments in sectors such as industry and
agriculture where consumption patterns can be established for, say, cement production or
water pumping.

PSMP & Grid Code Study
Econometric Analysis
This class of model, like the time series model (extrapolation), uses historical data to predict
the future. Econometric analysis however, attempts to go beyond time series models by
explaining the causes of the identified trends. Econometric models postulate explicit causal
relationships between the dependent variable (either energy or power) and independent
variables (either economic (e.g. GDP), technological (e.g. number and type of appliances;
industrial processes), demographic (e.g. population) or other variables (e.g. weather)).
Assuming these relationships are true it should then be possible to determine the historical
relationships between electrical demand and such parameters as GDP by sector, personal
income, the price of electricity etc. Future levels of these economic variables are then
forecast and used as inputs to determine future levels of consumption.
One advantage of econometric forecasting is the ease with which high and low scenario load
forecasts can be derived and the logical basis on which the can be formed. This merely
requires changes in the forecast rate of the input variables, e.g. economic growth and
electricity price. A faster economic growth will produce a higher load forecast whilst the
imposition of price increases will reduce forecast levels of energy demand.
Econometric modelling would be preferred to time series analysis. Even if both techniques
could predict changes in demand with equal accuracy, the econometric model would be
more valuable since it might help in understanding why changes in demand were occurring.
Top-down and Bottom-up Approaches
An additional classification of demand forecast techniques is between bottom-up and top-
down approaches. Most demand forecasting methodologies utilise a bottom-up approach. A
bottom-up approach concentrates on predicting demand at the consumer level (i.e. electricity
sales). This sales forecast may then be converted to a system power demand forecast at
different voltage levels by summation of each individual consumer level sales forecast and
the use of loss estimates and load factors (see Equation 2.1).
Using a top-down approach is generally not recommended. A top-down approach involves
the estimate of demand at a generation level (i.e. forecasting MW sent out, GWh sent out).
This technique includes implicit assumptions about the behaviour of losses in the future, and
does not permit a breakdown by consumer sector.

2. ADOPTED APPROACH TO DEMAND FORECASTING
The purpose of this report is to identify or provide an array of demand forecast scenarios
(namely base, high and low scenarios) for each EAPP/EAC member country, suitable for
deriving Master Plans for the EAPP/EAC member countries. In this sub-section we detail the
approach adopted to achieve this objective. Our approach can be divided into three parts:
• Data collection
• Review of existing national demand forecast
• Derivation of independent demand forecast scenarios
We detail our approach to each of these parts in turn below.
2.1 Data Collection
The first step in achieving the objective detailed above is to carry out an extensive data
collection exercise. The data collection exercise comprised:
• A short visit to each country to meet with the utility representative(s) and to initiate the
data collection. The visit to each country also allowed the Consultant to see at first hand
the level of development in the country. Where data relating to demand forecasting was
not readily available, requests were made for:
− Previous demand forecasts.
− Historic electrical data (hourly load data, loss data, peak demand, generation,
sales data etc).
− Historic economic and demographic data (GDP, population etc).
− Economic and demographic forecast data (GDP, population etc).
− Any background information relating to topics such electrification, loss reduction
etc.
• Following the visit to each country:
− A review of the data collected was undertaken.
− Desktop research was carried out to expand on the data made available in
country.
− The Consultants (PB and SNC) databases were searched for information relating
to the countries of the EAPP/EAC.
− Where gaps were identified we made requests for additional data.
2.2 Approach to Reviewing the Existing National Demand Forecasts
The next step in determining base, high and low demand forecast scenarios for each
EAPP/EAC country member is to identify the most recent existing national demand forecast
available and review the adopted methodology, key assumptions and overall results. This
review will allow us to form an opinion on the suitability of the forecast for use in the
EAPP/EAC study.
The EAPP/EAC study horizon year is 2038 and most existing national demand forecasts do
not extend this far into the future. As such, we have extended the existing national demand
forecasts to cover the study horizon.
The process for reviewing the existing national demand forecast (for each country) is
summarised follows:
23. Final Master Plan Report 2-2 WBS 1100 Demand Forecast
May 2011
EAPP/EAC Regional
PSMP & Grid Code Study
• Identify most recent demand forecast available for each country
• Review the most recent demand forecast for:
− Methodology.
− Assumptions.
− Level of detail1
.
− Magnitude of demand growth.
− Suitability for inclusion in the EAPP/EAC study, including a comparison with the
current level of demand to ensure that the demand forecasted today is in line with
the current level of demand.
• Extend the national forecast to cover the planning horizon of the study by either using the
same methodology as used to develop the original forecast (if possible) or by using trend
line analysis2
or growth rate extrapolation techniques.
• Offer our comments on the extended existing demand forecast, including the likelihood of
this forecast being achieved and the constraints that may hinder its attainment.
2.3 PB Independent Demand Forecasts
In addition to reviewing the most recent existing demand forecast for each country, we have
developed independent base, high and low demand forecasts.
Our independent demand forecasts are based on our own assumptions and methodologies,
utilising the data collected and analysed as part of the data collection process (see sub-
section 2.1). Where data availability and quality permit, the independent demand forecasts
are based on our econometric based Regression Analysis Load Forecast (RALF) model.
The data available for some of the EAPP/EAC countries however is of poor quality, un-
reliable and contains many gaps. If the data does not permit an independent econometric
demand forecast to be developed, then we use a combination of growth rate analysis,
electrification assumptions, population data and specific consumption assumptions to derive
suitable independent demand forecasts3
.
1
This typically includes identifying whether the forecast includes both an energy and power forecast, whether it is developed at
a sales level, broken down by consumer category etc.
2
Trend Line Analysis is carried out using the Microsoft Excel trend line tool. A trend line can be added to any charted historic
dataset (using a simple X Y Chart). A trend line equation and a R2 correlation statistic can also be displayed. The R2 statistic
can be used to determine the reasonableness of the trend line fit to the historic data and the equation can be used to project
future values.

A description of the methodologies used (RALF or other) are provided in the Appendices of those countries where these
methodologies have been employed.

3. REVIEW OF EXISTING NATIONAL DEMAND FORECASTS
In this section of the report we outline the existing national demand forecasts available for
each member country of the EAPP/EAC. Each existing national demand forecast has been
extended to cover the period to 2038. In the following sub-sections we detail the existing
national demand forecast, covering the following:
• Who developed the forecast,
• When was the forecast developed,
• What methodology was employed,
• How we extended the forecast to cover the period to 2038,
• The extended forecast, and,
• Comments on the existing/extended demand forecast
Further details of each review are provided in the respective Appendices provided with this
report.
3.1 Burundi
The latest national demand forecast available for Burundi was produced by Fichtner and
RSWI in October 2008 as part of the Nile Basin Initiative (NBI) study entitled ‘Nile Equatorial
Lakes Subsidiary Action Program (NELSAP).
The Burundian NELSAP demand forecast was developed in tandem with demand forecasts
for Tanzania and Rwanda. The objective of the demand forecast was to develop an end-
user model, which focused on the structure of the different electricity consumer groups and
their specific consumption. It should be noted, however, that some elements of trend-line
and econometric techniques were also been taken into consideration.
As the NELSAP demand forecast only covered the period to 2025, we have extended the
current national forecast to cover the period up to the planning horizon of this study. In order
to extend the existing forecast we used trend line analysis to identify existing trends in
generation sent out, sales and peak demand forecasts and used the resulting mathematical
trend line formulas to project the forecast for the additional 13 years required. Several
demand forecast scenarios were developed as part of the study.
Further details of the methodology and assumptions used in the derivation of the NELSAP
demand forecast are provided in Appendix A.
The extended NELSAP base case demand forecast scenario is presented in Table 3-1
below.

Table 3-1 Extended NELSAP Demand Forecast for Burundi (Base Case)
We consider the assumed growth rates in peak demand, generation and sales to be very
high, with average annual growth around 11 per cent per annum. An average annual
increase of this size would require a significant amount of annual investment in generation,
transmission and distribution.
The assumption that losses are to remain at around 26 per cent from 2015 onwards does not
seem to reflect the most effective use of resources.
It is also a concern to see such a large growth in demand not reflected in a change in the
make-up of demand. The load factor is assumed to fall from 36 per cent to around 30 per
cent. It would be reasonable to expect that the load factor would increase as more
connections are made to the system and the timing and type of demand begins to reflect that
of other similarly sized economies.
A full description of our review of the NELSAP demand forecast is provided in Appendix A.

3.3 East DRC
The latest available demand forecast for the eastern region of the DRC is that produced by
RSW International in October 2007 as part of the Nile Basin Initiative (NBI) Nile Equatorial
Lakes Subsidiary Action Programme (NELSAP) feasibility study on the Interconnection of the
Electricity Networks of the Nile Equatorial Lakes Countries.
The NELSAP study indentifies two key variables in the derivation of future power
requirements in the DRC. These are:
• Consumer demand
• Power losses
By initially working out the level of consumer demand it is assumed that through the addition
of losses and the application of a load factor, a peak demand forecast can be derived. As a
consequence of the data available to RSW, the proposed consumer demand forecasting
approach considers a mix of econometric and simplified analytical approaches to determining
the level of consumer demand, including the introduction of key estimates based on its
overall and regional experience, and also when necessary, simple common sense.
As the NELSAP demand forecast only covered the period to 2020, we have extended the
current national forecast to the end of the planning horizon of this study. In order to extend
the existing forecast we have used trend line analysis to identify existing trends in sales, sent
out generation and peak demand forecasts and used the resulting mathematical trend line
formulas to project the forecast for the additional 18 years required.
Details relating to the specific assumptions made for the base, high and low demand forecast
scenarios are provided in Appendix C.
The base, high and low NELSAP demand forecasts are presented in Table 3-5, Table 3-6
and Table 3-7 below.
Projections of demand for the eastern region of DRC are very hard to develop given the lack
of reliable and consistent historical data. The projected growth rates for the base, high and
low scenarios are reasonable and not overly optimistic given the potential for development in
the region.

current national forecast to the end of the planning horizon of this study. In order to extend
the existing forecast we have used trend line analysis to identify existing trends in sales,
generation sent out and peak demand forecasts and used the resulting mathematical trend
line formulas to project the forecast for the additional 12 years required. Further details of
the methodology and assumptions used in the derivation of the EEHC demand forecast are
provided in Appendix D.
The extended base case EEHC national demand forecast is presented in Table 3-8 below.
The EEHC demand forecast is econometric based and utilises the well-known E-views
forecasting software. The E-views software is software is an excellent demand forecasting
tool and thus we concur with the methodology adopted to derive the EEHC demand forecast.
The key assumptions of the EEHC demand forecast relate to the forecasts of GDP and
population. The population forecast growth rate ranges from 1.8 per cent and 1.3 per cent
per annum. We find this rate of growth to be reasonable and in line with the latest United
Nations (UN) Population Division estimate. Of more significance to the forecast results are
the sectoral GDP forecast assumptions. Total GDP is forecast to grow at a rate of 5.5 per
cent per annum throughout the EEHC forecast period. At this rate of growth, GDP is
expected to be around 2.6 times today’s value by 2026. We find this rate of overall growth to
be plausible and not excessive given the current stature of the Egyptian economy and
potential for further growth.
An average annual increase in demand of around 5 per cent per annum would require a
reasonable but not unsustainable amount of annual investment in generation, transmission
and distribution.
We find no issue with the EEHC demand forecast, although it should be noted that high and
low demand forecasts were not provided.

3.5 Ethiopia
The most recent demand forecast available for Ethiopia is presented in EEPCO’s “Highlights
on Power Sector Development Program” Report dated June 2008. It is assumed for this
study that the Moderate I Scenario is the current base case national forecast5
.
The Moderate I forecast is based on an econometric model which presents the relationships
between electricity demand growth, electricity price in each tariff category and the level of
economic activity. The econometric model contains three sub-forecasts (ICS, SCS and rural
forecasts). The ICS forecast utilises assumptions relating to GDP and electrification rates.
The SCS forecast has been based on trend analysis while the rural electrification forecasts
are treated separately based on the Government electrification target. The sales forecasts
are then combined with projected loss rates to produce forecasts of energy generation and
through the use of average load factors, the capacity (MW) requirement to deliver the
demanded energy was estimated.
5
We make this assumption on the basis that the forecast suggested in the Target Scenario is extremely high and assumes an
annual average growth rate of 15.5 per cent over 20+ years. We do not believe this to be credible without the identification of a
new and vast oil or gas reserve. The Moderate I scenario provides a demand forecast which is higher than the Moderate II
forecast but significantly less than Target forecast.

Further details of the methodology and assumptions used in the derivation of the EEPCO
demand forecast are provided in Appendix E.
As the EEPCO demand forecast only covered the period to 2030, we have extended the
current national forecast to cover the whole of the planning horizon of this study. In order to
extend the existing Moderate I forecast we have adopted generation and peak demand
growth rate assumptions.
The extended EEPCO base case demand forecast (Moderate I scenario) is presented in
Table 3-9 below.
We believe the econometric model used to derive the above forecast to be typical of most
econometric models. Whilst we find no issue with the methodology adopted to derive the
national demand forecast, it should be noted that we consider the resulting demand forecast
to be high.
The assumed underlying GDP growth rate would result in a level of real GDP that is 5 times
its current value in 2030, but almost 10 times its current value in 2038. Even in very
favourable global and local market conditions the assumed level of GDP growth would be
very difficult to achieve.
Peak demand is estimated to increase at an average annual rate of 10.6 per cent per annum
between 2008 and 2038. An average annual increase in peak demand of this nature would
require a significant amount of annual investment in generation, transmission and
distribution.

2008 LCPDP
The demand forecast contained within the 2008 LCPDP covers the period 2008 to 2030.
The projection of power and energy demand was made through the use of the Model for
Analysis of Energy Demand (MAED). The MAED model is an end-use forecast model that is
designed to evaluate medium and long-term demand for energy in a country (or in a region).
As the LCPDP demand forecast only covered the period to 2030, we have extended the
current national forecast to the end of the planning horizon of this study. In order to extend
the existing forecast we have used trend line analysis to identify existing trends in both the
generation sent out and peak demand forecasts and used the resulting mathematical trend
line formulae to project the forecast for the additional 8 years required.
The extended 2008 LCPDP base case demand forecast is presented in Table 3-10.
The MAED model used to derive the 2008 LCPDP demand forecast provides a robust end-
user demand forecasting tool.
We understand that the underpinning assumption behind the MAED model is the GDP
growth forecasts. In the base case, an unfaltering GDP growth rate of 10 per cent per
annum for the years 2013 to 2030 is assumed. Even in very favourable global and local
market conditions this level of GDP growth would be very difficult to achieve. Furthermore,
historical analysis of GDP growth statistics in countries worldwide indicates that this level of
sustained economic growth has rarely occurred and can rarely be sustained without (i) vast,
new mineral reserves being discovered or, (ii) a significant increase in Foreign Direct
Investment (FDI).
An average annual increase in demand of around 9 per cent per annum would also require a
significant amount of annual investment in generation, transmission and distribution.

As previously stated, we believe that it is unrealistic to assume a five to seven fold increase
in GDP between now and 2030 unless major new mineral reserves are discovered or FDI
contributions increase manifold.
It should be noted that there is a considerable difference between the 2008 and the 2009
LCPDP demand forecasts. Although the key input assumptions remain largely unchanged,
the 2009 LCPDP forecast is considerably higher than the 2008 LCPDP forecast. The
marked difference in projected load levels can only be attributed to the change to the
adopted forecasting methodology and model.
Furthermore, the out-turn demand for electricity in Kenya in 2009 indicates growth at a
slower rate than that projected in the 2008 LCPDP. This would seem to indicate that the
2009 LCPDP forecast should have been more conservative with the assumptions. Our

3.7 Rwanda
The latest national demand forecast available for Rwanda was produced by RSWI and
Fichtner in October 2008 as part of the Nile Basin Initiative (NBI) Nile Equatorial Lakes
Subsidiary Action Program (NELSAP) study on the Electricity Transmission Lines linked to
the Rusumo Falls Hydro-Electric Generation Plant.
The Rwandan NELSAP demand forecast was developed in tandem with demand forecasts
for Tanzania and Burundi. The objective of the demand forecast was to develop an end-user
model, which focused on the structure of the different electricity consumer groups and their
specific consumption. It should be noted, however, that some elements of trend-line and
econometric techniques have also been taken into consideration.
As the NELSAP demand forecast only covered the period to 2025, we have extended the
current national forecast to the end of the planning horizon for this study. In order to extend
the existing forecast we have used trend line analysis to identify existing trends in the sent
out generation and peak demand forecasts and used the resulting mathematical trend line
formulas to project the forecast for the additional 13 years required.
Further details of the methodology and assumptions used in the derivation of the NELSAP
demand forecast are provided in Appendix G.
We consider the assumed growth rates in peak demand and generation to be very high, with
average annual growth around 11 per cent per annum. Growth rates of this magnitude
require massive amounts of coordinated investment in infrastructure and while “technically”
possible, in our view, we do not believe this is likely to be achieved under a base case
scenario.
Given our concerns with the base case demand forecast detailed above, we have not
reviewed the other demand forecast scenarios developed as part of the 2009 LCPDP.

3.8 Sudan
In 2005, PB were commissioned with the task of developing a LTPSP study for the whole of
Sudan, which included an extensive end-user survey based demand forecast.
A variety of methodologies have been utilised to derive the demand forecasts for the LTPSP
study, primarily based around the results of the detailed market survey performed by NEC.
Forecasts for the domestic and agricultural forecasts use end-use approaches. From the
results of the household energy survey, average electricity consumption patterns were
identified on a state by state and urban rural/basis for each of the 7 income categories
identified in the survey. An end-use demand forecast model was developed to calculate
changes in total domestic consumption as household income and electrification rates
increase respectively.
The short-term demand forecast for the large commercial and industrial sector is based upon
production output forecasts from existing NEC customers. In the medium-term the load from
committed large commercial and industrial projects are added to the underlying growth of
existing customers and in the long-term the energy and electricity requirements to serve the
growing economy in Sudan are used as the driving parameters to estimate future electricity
demands. Growth in demand for the small commercial and Government sectors are based
upon estimates of customer numbers and specific consumption per customer.
The forecasts for each consumer category were developed on a state by state basis. The
electricity forecasts for total generation (GWh) and peak demand (MW) at the sent-out
generation level are derived from the application of power and energy losses to the total
sector sales forecasts presented above and the application of appropriate coincident after
diversity load factors.
Further details of the methodology and assumptions used in the derivation of the LTPSP
demand forecast are provided in Appendix H.
As the LTPSP demand forecast only covered the period to 2030, we have extended the
current national forecast to the end of the planning horizon for this study. In order to extend
the existing forecast we have used trend line analysis to identify existing trends in both
electricity sales and peak demand forecasts and used the resulting mathematical trend line
formulae to project the forecast for the additional 8 years required.
The extended LTPSP base case demand forecast is presented below in Table 3-13.

Table 3-13 Extended LTPSP Demand Forecast for Sudan (Base Case)
The demand forecast developed as part of the LTPSP study was an end-user forecast based
on an extensive survey. The survey results provided an indication of the patterns,
requirements and uses of electricity in Sudan at the time. The end-user methodology
adopted to develop the demand forecast is reasonable for determining the future load in
Sudan.
A key component in determining the demand for electricity into the future however, is the
electrification rate. At the time of the study, NEC declared that they would invest significantly
in increasing the number of connections to the grid and this led to the assumption that 80 per
cent of the country would be connected to the grid by 2025. As the LTPSP study specifically
states,
“Achieving the high level of demand growth is heavily reliant on the successful
completion of the stated electrification projects across the whole of the country.
We note that the number of connections required on an annual basis are
significantly higher than have been achieved historically. NEC are confident that
they will be able to achieve these electrification rates and to fulfil the
Government’s policy. Failure to complete these projects and/or lower growth
rates in final connection to the distribution networks by households will inevitably
lead to lower outturn levels of electricity demand than shown here.”
In the 5 years since the demand forecast was first developed, it is apparent that NEC have
not reached the levels of electrification that were assumed in the study. While the level of
growth experienced in Sudan is very high and commendable, this is significantly below the
forecast figure and indicates that NEC fell short of its own targets.

PSMP & Grid Code Study
3.9 Tanzania
In December 2007 SNC published their Power System Master Plan (PSMP) study report.
This study was carried out for TANESCO on behalf of The Government of the United
Republic of Tanzania. In 2009, an updated PSMP demand forecast was developed by
TANESCO experts, under the supervision of SNC during an ‘on-the-job’ training course.
For this study, we consider the regional extrapolation/trend line demand forecast to be the
‘official’ forecast of demand. The regional load forecast was carried out in four steps:
• Derive a forecast of sales for the load centres area using a trend-line approach in which
the trends in number of customers and the unit consumption in each category of load are
studied and projected;
• Assess the impact of the issues specific to Tanzania;
• Estimate the losses and derive the energy required;
• Estimate the load factors that would apply in an unconstrained system.
The process to be used for the trend-line forecast will consist of the following steps:
• For each category for which data are available, tabulate the number of customers, the
sales and the unit consumption for the full historical period available (roughly twenty
years)
• Plot the above data
• Review the data and the graphs derived from it to assess anomalies and trends
• Either correct anomalies or obtain explanations for them
• Project the number of customers for the period taking account of issues likely to have an
impact on growth (e.g. rural electrification policies)
• Project the unit consumption for the same period taking account of issues likely to have
an impact on growth (e.g. the removal of constraints on generation)
• Multiply the unit consumption in each year by the number of customers forecast for that
year to obtain the estimated sales
Further details of the methodology and assumptions used in the derivation of the PSMP
demand forecast are provided in Appendix I.
As the PSMP demand forecast only covered the period to 2033, we have extended the
current national forecast to the end of the planning horizon for this study. In order to extend
the existing forecast we have used trend line analysis to identify existing trends in both the
generation sent out and peak demand forecasts and used the resulting mathematical trend
line formulae to project the forecast for the additional 5 years required.
We believe the methodology employed to determine the PSMP demand forecast is robust
and in line with demand forecasting best-practice.
The PSMP demand forecast projects an average annual increase in peak demand of around
7.2 per cent. An average annual growth rate of this figures results in a 7 fold increase over
the 28 year period. Similar growth rates are projected for sent out generation. An average
annual increase in peak demand/generation of this nature would require a significant amount
of annual investment in generation, transmission and distribution. If such a large amount of
investment is required to fund the new generation, transmission and distribution projects
required in order to meet this demand, then less money would be available for investment in
other sectors of the economy, and this in turn would cast doubts on the ability of other

sectors to grow at the rates required to achieve the high growth rates predicated in the
demand forecast. It should be noted however, that the Government of Tanzania has
identified 5 key areas of strategic importance (of which Energy Infrastructure is one) in its
medium-term Public Investment Plan (MPIP) for the period 2009/10 to 2014/15. The MPIP
highlights the importance of fast-tracking the flow of public investment into the energy
infrastructure industry so as to stimulate increased participation of other key players in the
Tanzanian economy. This suggest that Government will do all it can to ensure funds are
available to allow the energy sector to develop in line with the demand forecast developed as
part of the PSMP.

The latest demand forecast available for Uganda was developed by PB as part of the on-
going Power Sector Investment Plan (PSIP) study. The PSIP demand forecast projects
demand for electricity over the period 2008 to 2038 for three different scenarios; base, high
and low. The PSIP demand forecast is derived using PB’s econometric based RALF model.

In this section of the report we outline the independent PB demand forecasts developed
specifically using the data made available for this study. Further details of each review are
provided in the respective Appendices provided with this report.
4.1 Burundi
In addition to reviewing the most recent national demand forecast available for Burundi, we
have produced our own base; high and low national demand forecast scenarios. These
scenarios are based upon our own assumptions and methodology, utilising the data
collected/made available as part of this study.
Due to the lack of economic data as well as the unavailability of sales by consumer category,
this forecast has been developed on the basis of the country electrification rate, an assumed
level of specific consumption, an assumption relating to the number of persons per
household and a population forecast provided by the UN.
High and low demand forecast scenarios have also been developed. These forecasts differ
from the base case demand forecast having adopted different assumptions relating to the
rate of electrification and population for the derivation of total sales.
Details of the methodology employed and any assumptions made are provided in Appendix
A.
The base, high and low independent PB demand forecasts are presented in Table 4-1 and
summarised in Figure 4-1 and Figure 4-2 below.
