While Smart and Just Grids require strong public commitment, including funding, the private sector as the main engine of economic growth has an essential role in supporting related initiatives in sub-Saharan Africa. A close integration of the private sector in related efforts will be key. 9. Conclusion
Generation: This category comprised the direct implications of utility-focused Smart Grids initiatives on overall generation and capacity requirements. Africa's average transmission and distribution losses of 11% are close to the global average of approximately 9% 56 , .
So far, most of the investments are concentrated in Morocco and Egypt. Contrary to the global trend in the period of 2013-2020 which shows private sector financing as the primary source of funding for renewables development, North Africa sees public finance play a far more important role.
With high renewables potential that can be tapped at low costs, and geographical proximity to Europe where demand for renewables-based or green hydrogen is rising, many North African countries have entered into agreements with other countries and private companies to explore pilot projects for green hydrogen production and exportation.
