QatarEnergy has bought a 23% interest in Egypt’s North El-Dabaa (H4) Block in the Mediterranean Sea for an undisclosed amount.

Published in November 2024, this map illustrates the state of green hydrogen projects across South Africa including project name, phase and planned commercial operation dates.  Projects are marked to show those that are officially designated Strategic Integrated Projects (SIP). In addition to green hydrogen projects, the map also shows other future fuel projects including ammonia, hydrogen-to-power and fuel cell production sites. The base map shows administrative province boundaries and Eskom supply areas. The map is available as a PDF file using eps graphics, meaning that there is no loss of resolution as the file is enlarged.  

Tanzania’s most important gas project – and its largest-ever foreign investment – is the $42bn, 15m t/yr Lindi liquefied natural gas (LNG) development, also known as Tanzania LNG (TLNG).  A long-awaited deadline to conclude a host government agreement (HGA) was missed in February but in early November there were reports of progress.

The US Trade and Development Agency (USTDA) awarded a $1.3m grant to Côte d’Ivoire (CdI)’s Ministry of Finance for a feasibility study to developed a power grid emergency control system for the state-owned utility Côte d’Ivoire Energies (CIE). USTDA said the system was “expected to be the first of its kind in Africa".

The $736m deal between Ketraco and Indian conglomerate Adani to construct a series of transmission lines and substations was suspended by the High Court in Nairobi in late October, after opponents argued it had been awarded under an opaque process. A hearing will be held on 11 November.

Some $10bn worth of deals were struck between Morocco and French energy and infrastructure companies during a late-October visit by Emmanuel Macron to the North African country, during which the French president offered strong support for Rabat’s claim to Western Sahara.

Tunisian energy sector officials have set out an ambitious and well-thought-through programme of development and reform – the objective of which is to add gigawatts of renewable generation capacity in the coming years. But to get it implemented they will have to counter political and economic headwinds generated by President Kaïs Saïed himself.

Revised in November 2024, this map provides a detailed view of the energy sector in Tunisia. The locations of power generation facilities that are operating, under construction or planned are shown by type – including gas and liquid fuels, natural gas, hybrid, hydroelectricity, solar (PV and CSP), wind and biomass/biogas. Major substations are indicated as are power generation projects with battery storage. Generation sites are marked with different sized circles to show sites of 1-9MW, 10-99MW, 100-499MW and 500MW and above. The bottom right of the map lists announced solar projects where final locations have yet to be confirmed. An inset provides greater detail for the area around Tunis. Existing and future transmission and distribution lines are shown ranging from 90kV to 400kV. Actual and planned cross-border interconnectors are also shown including the Elmed Interconnector and lines to Algeria and Libya. The map also shows the location of producing oil and gas fields and associated infrastructure including pipelines, tanker terminals, gas processing facilities, refineries and LNG infrastructure. An inset provides greater detail for the oil and gas fields and infrastructure in the south of the country. Power generation data was drawn from our African Energy Live Data platform, which contains project level detail on power plants and projects across Africa.
