Event Background
 
The 2nd Nuclear Industry Congress Africa 2015

The gap between energy supply and demand in Africa is huge. The advantages of nuclear energy have aroused the interest of many countries in this region, typically, South Africa, Egypt, Nigeria and Kenya.

The revised Integrated Resource Plan 2010-2030 published for comments by Department of Energy, South Africa in November 2013 indicates “the nuclear decision can probably be delayed. The revised demand projections suggest that no new nuclear base-load capacity is required until after 2025”. While the honorable President, Mr. Zuma was unequivocal that the government would forge ahead with the procurement of nuclear energy. In July, South Africa has allocated ZAR850 million ($81 million) – over 10% of its energy ministry's budget – to nuclear research and development, which will be provided to NECSA, the National Nuclear Regulator and Eskom. It is presumed that some of the money also will be allocated to the nuclear energy promotion activities of the new Minister of Energy, who has also committed to accelerating the nuclear readiness program.

Egypt has made quite a lot of efforts to prepare for its first NPP at the El Dabaa site. An Egyptian government official said “Egypt is ready to invite bidders to submit their bids for 1st NPP project once get the approval of High Council of the Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy”. In Nigeria, NPPs projected to contribute at least 4,000 MW to the country’s total national electricity supply by 2030, with the first plant scheduled on-line in 2020. The Kenya Nuclear Electricity Board (KNEB) is conducting pre-feasibility study recently for its first nuclear power plant (1,000MW), which is expected to be commissioned in 2022-2025. Kenya could become a nuclear electricity generator in the next ten years if the country can pass a rigorous test by the International Atomic Energy Agency.
