WINDHOEK - Member States of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) actually produce more electricity than they require at peak demand but because not all member states are connected to the regional electricity grid, this excess energy cannot be shared with member states that do not generate sufficient amounts of energy for their respective populations. When considering SADC’s current peak demand and generation capacity reserve margins, the region is estimated to generate excess capacity of 2 616 MW. In fact, the installed capacity in the region is more than 40 percent of the total installed generation capacity in Africa.
