I - WHAT IS UPDEA ?

• The UPDEA is the Union of Producers, Transporters
  and Distributors of Electric Power in Africa, a
  non-profit continental organisation that gathers
  African power generation, transmission and
  distribution utilities as well as foreign
  organisations involved in development of the
  African power sector. UPDEA was established in
  1970 with its headquarters in Abidjan (Côte
  dIvoire).

II WHAT IS UPDEAS PURPOSE AND VISION?

• The UPDEA was created with the aim of promoting
  development and integration of the African power
  systems through the interconnection of networks,
  the exchange of experiences and know-how as well
  as the pooling of energy resources in a win-win
  approach for all members.
• Since 2002, UPDEA has adopted a new vision
  according to which, UPDEA must henceforth be the
  primary catalyst of the realisation of access to
  electricity for all the peoples of Africa.
  Therefore UPDEA has become a development oriented
  institution working in close collaboration with
  NEPAD and the African Union as far as the power
  projects of the continent are concerned.
• Given that the energy resources are not equally
  spread throughout the continent, UPDEA committed
  itself to promote or initiate the setting up of
  sub regional power pools where necessary, in
  close relationships with Regional Economic
  Communities.
• Now that each African sub-region has its power
  pool, the UPDEA is currently involved in
  harmonising their master plans and exchanging
  data and experiences. The final objective is to
  have in due time an African interconnected power
  system to allow load flow from North to South,
  from Central to West and East of the Continent,
  etc.

VI MAIN INITIATIVES OF UPDEA

• Among the recent or ongoing initiatives of UPDEA,
  one may mention
• The implementation of a continental African
  databank, accessible on internet.
• The setting up of power pools in central Africa
  (2003) and in Eastern Africa (2005) in
  collaboration with the Regional Economic
  Communities.
• The setting up of a cooperation framework between
  African power pools.
• The setting up of an African Standardisation
  Electro technical Commission (AFSEC) in order
  to promote the use of electrical materials
  adapted to the realities and African
  conditions (2005-2006) this activity is
  performed under the patronage of the African
  Union.
• Under the patronage of the African Union, setting
  up an African Fund for the Development of Rural
  Electrification (FADER). This fund whose
  feasibility studies are in progress should
  enable deal with the under-electrification of the
  African rural world.
• The pilot electrification programme of
  cross-border villages backed by the African
  development bank (AfDB) and other development
  partners.

B.PILOT PROGRAMME OF CROSS BORDER ELECTRIFICATION
10
I CONTEXT OF THE PROGRAMME

• The rate of electrification is very low in
  sub-saharan Africa
• It does not exceed 5 in some countries
• The situation is more dramatic in rural areas,
  many villages in Africa have not yet enjoyed a
  light from an electric bulb, 45 years after our
  national independences.
• At our borders, there are villages or rural areas
  not yet electrified whereas few km or even few
  hundreds meters away in a neighbouring country,
  electricity is available.
• This situation is disappointing for peoples, who,
  sometimes are speaking the same language.

11
II OBJECTIVES

• Increase access rate to electricity for the
  African peoples living in rural areas.
• Strengthen cooperation ties between neighbouring
  countries.
• Enhance a well being in African rural areas in
  order to reduce rural depopulation and preserve
  environment
• Generate wealth in rural areas by fostering
  agro-industries.
